Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base

    In a large paella pan or wide skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 2

    Add the Vegetables

    Stir in the red bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add the saffron threads and rice to the pan, stirring to coat the rice with the oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Liquid

    Pour in the chicken broth, season with salt and black pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Seafood

    Gently nestle the lobster, clams, shrimp, mussels, and scallops into the rice. Cover the pan and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked and the rice is tender.

  6. 6

    Final Touch

    Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges before serving.
