Directions
Step 1
In a shallow bowl or casserole dish, toss together shrimp, wine and half the garlic. Marinate for at least 1 hour, covered and chilled.
Step 2
In a large pan, pour chicken stock and clam juice and heat over medium heat. Add chicken sausages and cook until sausages plump, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Remove chicken sausages, cut into 1/4-inch slices and set aside.
Step 4
Add water and bring to a boil. Add onion, remaining garlic, brown rice, saffron and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is fully cooked, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Add shrimp and marinade and stir until shrimp is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Add sausage slices, artichokes, pimientos and peas and stir until mixture is hot. Serve hot.
