Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Seafood Paella Authentic Version.
Step 1
To create a delicious seafood paella, start by heating a generous splash of olive oil in a large skillet or paella pan over high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the diced onion, tomato, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Step 3
Sauté this vibrant mixture for about three minutes, or until the onion softens and becomes fragrant.
Step 4
Next, stir in the romano beans, butter beans, and rice, allowing them to cook for an additional two to three minutes.
Step 5
This step is crucial as it helps the rice absorb the flavors of the oil and spices.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to layer in the seafood! Arrange the shrimp, mussels, and clams on top of the rice mixture, creating a beautiful display.
Step 7
Pour in the white wine and seafood stock, then delicately sprinkle saffron threads and fresh rosemary over everything.
Step 8
Bring this enticing mixture to a gentle simmer, letting the aromas fill your kitchen.
Step 9
As the paella simmers, turn the shellfish gently to ensure even cooking.
Step 10
Keep an eye on them for about five minutes, or until the clams and mussels open up and the shrimp turn a lovely pink.
Step 11
Once they’re ready, carefully remove the shellfish and shrimp from the pan and set them aside for later.
Step 12
Now, add fresh peas to the paella and let it simmer uncovered.
Step 13
This is where the magic happens! Allow the rice to cook until it’s tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, which should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 14
Stir in the squid, and then return the clams, mussels, and shrimp to the pan.
Step 15
Cook everything together for another two to three minutes, just until the squid turns opaque and everything is heated through.
Step 16
When your paella is ready, serve it hot, garnished with bright lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Step 17
Enjoy this delightful dish with family and friends, and savor the flavors of the sea in every bite!.
