A simplified version of the classic Spanish dish, it gets its rich color from turmeric, instead of saffron. Choose smoked sausage for a mild smoky flavor or chorizo to build more spice heat.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 pound smoked sausage or chorizo, cut lengthwise in half, then into 1/4-inch slices

1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Turmeric, Ground

2 cups chicken broth

1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 cup frozen peas
