Rice-Less Paella! This is actually not at all paella, since you can’t have paella without rice. But it sort of LOOKS like paella, and you really can get all the flavors in the mix. The version above is a paprika shrimp dish that is easy and savory. Read and learn: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large shallow pan. Add 1/2 tablespoon of paprika and allow to cook in the oil on medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. You should start to smell the paprika smoking, but don’t let it burn. Add in 1/2 pound of shelled shrimp, raise heat to high and mix while cooking.  When shrimp begins to turn pink (this should take about 30 seconds), add 1 cup of sweet corn kernels (frozen is fine) and 1/2 cup of sweet peas (frozen is fine). Keep heat high and continue mixing for about 5 minutes, until shrimp is fully cooked and the vegetables have been fully coated in the paprika oil.  Serve hot and enjoy! (Photo by Mia Tramz)
