Seafood Paella Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large paella pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomato, saffron, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  3. 3

    Add Rice and Stock

    Add the rice to the pan, stirring to coat it with the mixture. Pour in the fish stock and add salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook the Seafood

    Once the mixture is simmering, add the shrimp, mussels, and calamari. Spread them evenly across the rice. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes without stirring, until the rice is tender and the seafood is cooked.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
