Paella Marinera Recipe

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.
