Seafood paella is a traditional Spanish dish that is prepared with rice, shellfish, and other ingredients. The recipe varies depending on the region and personal taste, but generally includes shrimp, mussels, calamari, prawns, and saffron.
To prepare a seafood paella, you need a paellera, which is a pan with a flat, wide bottom. First, onion, garlic and red pepper are sautéed in olive oil until soft. Seafood such as shrimp and calamari are then added and sautéed for a few minutes.
The rice is then added and mixed well with the seafood and vegetables. Fish broth and saffron are added and simmered until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed. Before serving, decorate the mussels and prawns on the paella and let it rest for a few minutes so that the flavors blend. It can be served with a fresh salad and a good white wine.
Enjoy!
