Ingredients for Sheet-Pan Paella with Chorizo, Mussels, and Prawns

• Nonstick vegetable cooking spray

• 190g short-grain rice (such as Arborio)

• 425ml low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 bay leaf

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 3/4 teaspoons smoked paprika

• 1/8 teaspoons saffron

• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

• 60g dried Spanish chorizo, casing removed, thinly sliced (about 80g )

• 1 shallot, thinly sliced

• 110g medium prawns, peeled, deviened, tails left intact

• 450g mussels, scrubbed, debearded

• 80g sliced roasted red peppers

• 60ml green olives (such as Cerignola or Castelvetrano), pitted, sliced

• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley

• 2 (18x13") rimmed baking sheets

Arrange rack in centre of oven and preheat to 177°C. Coat rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread rice on sheet and toast 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring broth, bay leaf, pepper, paprika, saffron, and 1 teaspoon salt to a low boil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Pour broth mixture into a measuring cup with a spout.

Remove rice from oven and stir. Arrange chorizo and shallots evenly over rice and pour broth mixture carefully over. Cover baking sheet with inverted second baking sheet, then bake 20 minutes. Carefully remove top baking sheet, stir rice mixture, and continue to bake, uncovered, 5 minutes more.

Combine prawns with remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Remove baking sheet from oven, discard bay leaf, and stir rice mixture again. Scatter prawns, mussels, tomatoes, peas, red peppers, and olives over rice. Continue baking until rice is tender, prawns is opaque and pink, and mussels have opened, about 8 minutes more. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl and toss with parsley.
