Spanish Seafood Paella with Saffron Rice
Sautéed aromatics and bomba rice simmered in a saffron-infused broth, topped with succulent shrimp and mussels for a vibrant, golden-hued feast.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup yellow onion
0.25 cup red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup bomba rice
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.13 tsp saffron threads
1 cup seafood stock
0.25 cup crushed tomatoes
4 oz shrimp
4 oz mussels
2 oz squid rings
2 tbsp green peas
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 wedge lemon
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a paella pan or wide skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the diced onion and red bell pepper until softened, then add the minced garlic and squid rings, cooking for 2 minutes.
Stir in the bomba rice and smoked paprika, toasting the grains for 1 minute until they are well-coated and fragrant.
Pour in the seafood stock and crushed tomatoes, then crumble in the saffron threads and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer and cook undisturbed for 10 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the broth.
Arrange the shrimp and mussels evenly over the top of the rice, pressing them down slightly into the liquid.
Cover the pan and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes until the shrimp are opaque and the mussels have fully opened.
Scatter the green peas over the top, remove from heat, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with a fresh lemon wedge.
