How to make easy seafood Paella step by step:
- To begin with the preparation of the seafood paella, you must prepare all the ingredients. First we chop the garlic cloves and the green pepper. We grate the tomatoes or not if we will use crushed tomato.
- We put a paella pan over medium heat with a good jet of oil, add the prawns, sauté them and take them out. Add the cuttlefish or squid in previously well-washed pieces.
- Let the cuttlefish cook and add the chopped green pepper so that the easy sauce of the paella seafood cooks.
- When the pepper begins to take on color, add the minced garlic, stir and before it takes on much color, add the tomato. Stir, let cook for a few minutes so that the homemade seafood paella is made.
- When we see that the sauce is ready, we add the rice to the seafood paella and stir.
- Trick: In this case it is for 4 diners but if you want to make the seafood paella for 10 people, for example, you will have to calculate the proportion of ingredients thinking that about 100 grams of rice per person are put.
- Add the fish broth, the clean mussels with just one shell, a little coloring (or saffron threads, about 20) and a little salt. We remove everything and let the seafood paella cook for 5 minutes over a little high heat , then we lower it a little and let it cook for another 10-12 minutes. Or until the rice is as we like it.
- When the rice is little left, we put the prawns on top so that they finish cooking.
- When the rice is turned off. Let the seafood paella rest for 5 minutes covered with a clean kitchen towel and it will be ready to eat! You can decorate it with some lemon wedges if you like.
