In a large pot or paella pan, heat the oil over medium and sauté the onion until very fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped red bell pepper, uncooked brown rice, and turmeric and continue sautéing until vegetables have softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add thelow-sodium chicken broth, salt, and bay leaf and bring to a full boil.
Reduce the heat and cover. Allow the rice and veggies to simmer until much of the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.
Add the peas, shrimp, and chorizo and mix. Place the clams, hinge-side down into the paella and cover the pot. Cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until chorizo is heated, shrimp is cooked through, and clams have opened.
Discard any clams that refuse to open.
Serve with your favorite wine!
