Spanish Seafood Paella with Saffron Rice
Sautéed aromatics and Bomba rice simmered in a fragrant saffron broth, topped with succulent shrimp and mussels for a vibrant, golden finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz raw shrimp
4 oz mussels
0.13 cup bomba rice
0.25 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup yellow onion
0.5 cup red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup tomato puree
0.75 cup seafood broth
0.13 tsp saffron threads
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.5 whole lemon
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, crush the saffron threads into the warm seafood broth and set aside to infuse.
Heat the olive oil in a wide, shallow pan over medium heat and sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and tomato puree, cooking for 2 minutes until the mixture darkens slightly.
Add the Bomba rice to the pan, stirring for 1 minute to toast the grains and coat them in the aromatic base.
Pour in the saffron-infused broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer without stirring to allow a crust to form.
Arrange the shrimp and mussels on top of the rice, cover the pan, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the seafood is opaque and shells have opened.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges for a bright, citrusy finish.
