Saftig, aromatisch und herrlich sämig: Arroz Meloso con Gambas ist das spanische Wohlfühlessen schlechthin. Zarte Garnelen treffen auf sonnengereifte Tomaten, Paprika und edlen Safran – zubereitet in nur einem Topf!
Preparation method
Preparation
Rinse the prawns thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Finely dice the onion and garlic cloves. Deseed the red bell pepper and cut into bite-sized pieces. Wash the fresh tomatoes and finely grate or very finely dice them.
Cooking in the pot
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a wide pot or casserole dish. Gently sauté the diced onion and bell pepper over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and smoked paprika and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the grated tomatoes and simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes until a thick sofrito forms. Now add the paella rice and sauté while stirring for about 1 minute until translucent.
Chef's tip
For the perfect 'meloso' result, use short-grain or paella rice. It releases starch during gentle stirring, making the sauce velvety and creamy without overcooking.
Serve with fresh garlic baguette or homemade aioli for an authentic Spanish culinary experience.
