1. 1I a very large non-stick skillet or paella pan preheated over medium-high heat, add 2 teaspoons of your oil (you will need more oil if you're not using non-stick), garlic, red pepper flakes and rice.
2. 2Saute for about 3 minutes.
3. 3Add saffron, thyme, bay leaf and broth and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Leave covered, do not stir. In another non-stick skillet, heat to medium-high.
4. 4Add chorizo and crumble as you saute. When the sausage is cooked through, add red pepper and onion. Salt and pepper to taste if needed.
5. 5Saute until the onion is tender and remove from heat, set aside. When the rice is nearly done (about 15 minutes) add fish and shrimp and press into rice.
6. 6Add mussels, peas and sprinkle with lemon zest. Cover and continue to simmer until the rice is done and the mussels have opened. Discard any that do not. Top with chorizo mixture and parsley.
7. 7Serve with lemon wedges and a crusty bread.
