Lentil, Farro & Shrimp Paella Bowl

Directions

1. In a Dutch oven, large skillet, or paella pan over medium to high heat, add the diced chorizo and cook for 3 minutes until fragrant and slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside, and retain the chorizo fat for flavor.
2. In the same pan add oil, onions, garlic, and carrots. Sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add farro, lentils, tomato paste, chorizo, peas, and salt. Stir to cover the ingredients well with the tomato paste.
4. Add stock. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 17-20 minutes until lentils and farro are tender with a slight bite.
5. 5 minutes prior to finishing, add shrimp and allow the steam and heat to cook them through.
6. Portion into bowls. Garnish with parsley and pepper flakes and serve warm with a lemon wedge.
