Make it step by step

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare and measure every ingredient before beginning the seafood paella.

  2. 2

    Build the flavour base gently over medium heat, stirring so the aromatics do not burn.

  3. 3

    Add the main ingredients and cook until tender, adjusting the seasoning as you go.

  4. 4

    Finish with the fresh garnish, rest briefly, and serve while warm.

Chef’s tip

Do not stir after adding the rice; this helps form the prized socarrat.
