'Inspired by Chef John of Food Wishes’ oven-baked shrimp and sausage paella recipe https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tiJMJznAi0Y  If you can’t think of any recipe to prepare for your friends or family, this easy recipe can do the trick and may give you the reputation of the best dinner host of the year.  Ingredients: Ingredients for 4 large portions: (best to use a 12 or 13 inch wide skillet)  For the saffron broth: 2 tsp olive oil reserved shrimp shells from half pound of jumbo shrimp Half pound of scallops 1/2 to 1 tsp saffron threads, depending on how strong you want the flavor 2 1/4 cups chicken broth *Simmer for 20 minutes, strain and reserve. Be sure to season generously with salt, or your rice will be bland.  For the paella: 1 tbsp olive oil 8 oz sliced chorizo sausage, or any smoky, spicy sausage 1/2 yellow onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 1/3 cup Arborio rice 1/2 cup green peas 1 tsp regular or smoked paprika, optional depending on how much was in the sausage 2 cups (exactly) hot saffron broth, or just plain hot chicken broth 1 pound peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp 1 sweet red pepper, cut into thin strips salt and cayenne to taste garnish top with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and freshly chopped Italian parsley lemon wedges, optional (some love lemon, I prefer without, but give it a try and see)  *Bake at 425 degrees F. for 20 minutes, then finish over med-high flame until rice is just tender.
