Looking to heat up cold winter nights with some Latin flavor? Try these simple and tasty recipes from Ingrid Hoffmann, hostess of the Food Network show “Simply Delicioso.” Here, she gives her recipes for easy shrimp and scallop paella and white kiwi sangria.
Serves 6
Prep time: 30 minutes; cook time: 50 minutes
INGREDIENTS
In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken stock until boiling.
In a separate large saucepan or paella pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil and add the onion, garlic, peppers, saffron and chorizo. Cook for 6 minutes or until vegetables are soft and chorizo is browned.
Stir in the rice, tomatoes and tomato paste until well mixed and cook for 5 minutes. Add the boiling chicken stock little by little, stirring each addition constantly until the stock is almost absorbed.
Cover the paella pan with aluminum foil, and cook for 25 minutes, until rice is tender. Add the shrimp and the scallops and let cook covered for 5 to 7 minutes more.
Decorate with the chopped parsley and lemon wedges.

In a small saucepan, heat the water, add the sugar and stir to dissolve to make a simple syrup.
In a large pitcher, combine the white wine, the Triple Sec, lemon juice, kiwis, apples and grapes. Add the simple syrup, soda water and ice. Stir and serve in sangria glasses decorated with a kiwi slice.
*Cook’s note: We suggest using Cointreau as your orange liqueur for the best-tasting white kiwi sangria.
