Serves Two:
Olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 1 red pepper, sliced 1 garlic clove, chopped 150g paella or long grain rice Large pinch saffron Larch pinch smoked paprika 400ml chicken stock 150g large cooked prawns, shell on or off Bunch parsley, chopped Lemon wedges to serve
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and cook the onion, pepper and garlic until soft. Stir in the paella rice, saffron and paprika until well mixed. Pour in the stock and simmer for 15 minutes until just tender (add a splash more water if you need to).
Add the prawns and peas for the last few minutes until heated through. Season, stir through the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.
I have been making this really quick dish quite often since I saw it in our local paper.

Esther, you could definitely make this with chicken. Paella is not a fixed recipe and often has chicken as well as unmentionable parts of fish. You can put what you like in it.
Leave out the saffron if there is none in the house, but the smoked paprika tastes quite different to the ordinary sort.
