Scrub the mussels and peel/devein the shrimp, then pat dry and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a wide, shallow paella pan or heavy skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the raw onion and red bell pepper for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and saffron threads, cooking for 1 minute to release the aromatic oils.
Add the dry bomba rice and canned tomato puree, stirring to coat the grains for 2 minutes until slightly toasted.
Pour in the seafood stock, season with sea salt and black pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Arrange the raw shrimp and mussels on top of the rice, then simmer undisturbed for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Remove from heat, cover with a clean kitchen towel for 5 minutes to rest, then garnish with fresh parsley and a lemon wedge before serving.
