Ingredients

  • 125 g (4.4 oz) chorizo diced
  • 800 ml (3.4 cups) vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk finely diced
  • 5 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 125 ml (½ cup) white wine
  • 200 g (7.1 oz) tomatoes or cherry tomatoes diced or quartered
  • 200 g (7.1 oz) orzo
  • 400 g (14.1 oz) raw peeled king prawns
  • a handful of flat leaf parsley finely chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges, to serve

Instructions

  • Heat the slow cooker to high. Put in the first eight ingredients, stir, then cook for 2 hours.
  • Stir in the pasta and scatter the prawns over the top. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the prawns are pink.
  • Stir in the chopped parsley with some seasoning and spoon into bowls. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Notes

  • The consistency is quite soupy, so best to have a spoon on hand.   We enjoy some garlic ciabatta on the side to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • This slow cooker prawn and chorizo paella recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
