Quinoa is healthier, while Arborio is more accessible for similar texture.

shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pollock

Chicken is leaner, and pollock is often less expensive.

saffron

🥗Healthier: turmeric

Turmeric adds color and flavor, while annatto is a budget-friendly alternative.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon

Stir in the tomato and cook until it breaks down, about 5 minutes.

Add Bomba rice and stir to coat in the oil and vegetables, about 2 minutes.

Pour in chicken broth and add saffron, stirring to combine.

Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook without stirring for 15 minutes.

Add shrimp and peas on top of the rice, cover, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through.

Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley before serving.
