Preparation steps
1.
Put the vegetable stock into a pan and bring to a boil. Drop in the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside. Reserve the stock.
2.
In a pan over medium heat, brown the sausage slices. Remove sausage and set aside.
3.
Heat the oil in the pan. Add the onion, garlic, celery and peppers and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in the smoked paprika and cloves and cook for 1 minute.
4.
Add the rice, stirring until coated in oil. Add the tomatoes and bay leaf.
5.
Pour in 1 3/4 cups of the reserved stock; add Tabasco. Season to taste with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Stir, pushing the rice down into the liquid.
6.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes, until the rice is cooked and the stock is absorbed, adding a little more stock if necessary.
7.
Add the chorizo sausage and shrimp to the pan. Cover and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.
