  Being "hard pressed" to find chorizo in paella is an understatement. Literally noone has ever used chorizo in paella, just because the instant the chorizo touches the rice it is no longer paella. That said, having watched other "paellas" in youtube I have to say that his rice doesn't look half bad, I would gladly try that dish.

  When I see a video of a paella with chorizo it always reminds me of my mother. I was born and raised outside of Spain so it was quite common for us to find paella with chorizo for sell... And my mother would always go into a kind of Vincenzo's why-garlic mode : "Why chorizo? Why chorizo in the paella?!? Not every spanish dish has chorizo in it..." Personally I'm not very fond of it as it kind of "unbalances" the flavours. But in the end people are free to do as they wish... 🙂

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czpfEPVElvM&amp;t=321">5:21</a> &quot;If you go to Valencia (...) and you put chorizo in the paella or you asked them, they&apos;re gonna tell you &quot;no&quot;&quot;. <br><br>weeeeell... maybe they tell you something more than a simple no. For us Valencians getting irrationally mad about chorizo in paella is as traditional as las Fallas. 🤣

  This is Arroz con cosas. My mother in-law does actually add Chorizo to her Arroz and she&apos;s Spanish. But she calls it Arroz con cosas.

  We have particularly strong opinions against chorizo in paella here in Valencia. There&apos;s even a popular board game called La Fallera Calavera, a localised Munchkin-based game where you have to get 5 paella ingredient cards to win; if you get the chorizo card, you CAN&apos;T win, doesn&apos;t matter how many ingredients you get. I don&apos;t get why it&apos;s such a popular thing to add to paella outside of Spain. I&apos;d be burping for two straight days if I had a paella with as much chorizo as Joshua used.

  Shrimp shells are a good source of glutamic acid which makes the broth taste really, really good.

  A couple of more cities to mention that don&apos;t use chourizo in a paella - Porto and Lisbon. If you have paella here in Portugal, you&apos;re not getting any chourizo (or chouriço as we pronounce in Portuguese)

  I love seafood paella. &nbsp;I had the privilege of purchasing the best seafood for our family Thanksgiving meal. &nbsp;It came out better than I expected. &nbsp;Family loved it, neighbors loved it and no leftovers. &nbsp;It’s a great dish that takes time to make well. &nbsp;Cooking it was the best. So much fun doing this.
