Wash and dry all produce. Core, deseed, and thinly slice bell pepper. Mince garlic. Thinly slice chorizo into rounds.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and chorizo. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is slightly softened and chorizo is lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

Stir rice, half the garlic, half the paprika, and half the turmeric (all the turmeric for 4 servings) into same pan; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups water (6 cups for 4), stock concentrates, and salt. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water has evaporated and rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. TIP: Add a splash of water if liquid evaporates before rice is fully cooked.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and a pinch of remaining garlic to taste. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Rinse shrimp under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, pepper, and remaining paprika. When rice is almost finished, heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a second large pan over high heat. Once pan is hot, add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.

Once rice is finished, turn off heat and stir in peas. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Top with shrimp and drizzle with garlic aioli. TIP: Serve directly from pan for a family-style paella experience.
