Golden Saffron Seafood Paella
Succulent shrimp and tender calamari simmered in a fragrant saffron-infused broth with toasted Bomba rice and vibrant bell peppers for a classic Spanish-inspired feast.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Shrimp
2 oz Calamari rings
0.25 cup Bomba rice
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Yellow onion
0.25 cup Red bell pepper
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Tomato puree
1 pinch Saffron threads
1 cup Seafood stock
2 tbsp Green peas
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
1 wedge Lemon
PREPARATION
Heat olive oil in a wide skillet or paella pan over medium heat and sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, tomato puree, and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the dry Bomba rice to the pan, stirring for 2 minutes to toast every grain in the aromatic oil and tomato base.
Crumble the saffron threads into the seafood stock and pour the liquid over the rice; season with sea salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook undisturbed for 15 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Nestle the shrimp and calamari rings into the rice, sprinkle with green peas, and cover for 5 minutes until the seafood is opaque and cooked through.
Remove from heat, let the dish rest for 2 minutes to allow the bottom layer of rice to crisp slightly, and serve with a fresh lemon wedge.
