Skinnymixer’s Prawn & Chorizo Paella Bake features in the Chef Specials section of the cookbook SkinnyMediterranean.
Prawn & Chorizo Paella Bake: all the flavour of classic Spanish paella, baked in the oven for an easy weeknight dinner.
The Prawn & Chorizo Paella Bake is a cookbook exclusive recipe…
While visiting Barcelona I was treated to a beautiful evening of cooking and eating with the Just Royal BCN cooking class. It was such a treat to learn about the complete Spanish food history, explore the tasting tour then learn to make Paella. This easy baked Paella doesn’t need to be saved for a special occasion, it is simple enough for a weeknight dinner too!
This Prawn & Chorizo Paella Bake is my shortcut way of enjoying all the flavour of a traditional Spanish paella, without standing over the stove. Everything bakes together in the oven — smoky chorizo, juicy prawns, spiced rice — so the rice soaks up all those incredible flavours while you get on with other things.
It’s a dish that looks and feels special, but is simple enough for weeknights. The oven does most of the work, leaving you with golden baked rice and tender prawns nestled through. It’s perfect for feeding a family, but it also doubles as a dish you’d happily serve to friends with a crisp salad and a glass of wine.
Like all recipes in SkinnyMediterranean, you’ll find both Thermomix® and traditional methods included — so you can cook it your way.

FAQs
What rice should I use?
Arborio or paella rice (like bomba) works best. They absorb flavour while staying firm.
Can I make it without prawns?
Yes. Swap prawns for chicken thighs or just use extra chorizo.
Can I make it ahead?
It’s best fresh, but leftovers reheat well the next day. Add a splash of stock to keep the rice moist.
Is this recipe Thermomix® only?
No. Both Thermomix® and traditional oven methods are included.
