Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Base
In a large paella pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.
Add Vegetables
Stir in the red bell pepper and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Incorporate Rice and Spices
Add the short-grain rice to the pan, and stir in the saffron. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors.
Add Stock and Simmer
Pour in the fish stock and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add Seafood
Gently stir in the shrimp, mussels, and calamari. Cover the pan again and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and mussels have opened.
Finish with Peas and Garnish
Stir in the green peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
