How to Make Spanish Seafood Paella

Paella is one of my favorite dishes to serve for any special occasions and my family & friends loved it.

There are many variations of Paella recipe out there and here’s my personal take that may slightly differ from others.

My version of Seafood Paella is a delicious and flavorful seafood recipe that you can easily make at home. I used fresh prawns, mussels, squids and chorizo making this meal packed with flavors! 

Although the authentic paella doesn't combine the meat and fish in the paella. But for me it’s all a matter of personal choice and I enjoyed seafood paella with chorizo on it. So it’s all up to you.

Bomba rice, Calasparra or Valencia are the choices of rice in making paella but Calrose rice is the best substitute if these rice are not available. Calrose is what I used in this recipe. Please note that the amount of liquid depends on the type of rice that you’re using.

You can also substitute the homemade seafood stock with a chicken stock if you’re in a hurry. However, the taste of paella may be sacrificed as homemade seafood stock has more flavor.

This recipe makes approximately 3-4 main course servings. I used a 13-inch pan, but if you double the recipe, I recommend using a much wider pan for best results.

Let me know in the comment section, if you have tried it.

Listen people, understand that there is no such thing as a wrong recipe, there are recipes that are just unfamiliar to us. This for example, a lot of you are going "ooh, ah, wonderful" while I'm sitting here getting bored and thinking, I would never waste this much time and effort. There is no such thing as a 'THE recipe' because culinary evolution relies on people over time tweaking ingredients to their taste, and that's what makes cooking one of mankind's greatest inventions. Infinite variations on a theme. Anyway, this is not how I make paella.

Old world recipes are so flavorful yet simple, why over complicating something so much? + I doubt it’s as good as a regular paella.
I’m not saying it’s bad, I just don’t understand the concept of adding 2 dozens of ingredients and calling it paella

[geraldbeavis]

Go to Spain and watch them
Make this great dish
Less is more

[wemcal]

Great video and the food looks amazing

[puggychu]

I have seen many paella videos & yours is absolutely amazing! You really took the time to build flavor for each ingredients that went into your recipe. I can imagine the taste of this will be so delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Ok... The idea with the vegetable/fish stock was pretty good, except that the garlic was likely burned. After that the dish looked good if the customer is ok with uncooked rice.

nice editing sis!!🔥

you deserve more views..

looks delicious padala mo naman dito sa U.S.

[robertroeder]

Over complicated, unnecessary steps. Why cook the seafood before? It really doesn't take much to cook them with the rice. Chorizo probably overwhelmed the saffron.

[ginesparedes]

Paella con chorizo!!!??? 🥴🥴🥴 Eso no tiene nada que ver con una auténtica paella Valenciana.
Saludos desde Valencia, tierra del arroz.

All good Arvie nice seafood paella very creative but have you got a Spanish paella with chicken and seafood?

[jesusdespaigne]

This is a mix paella, no seafood paella, look good but is no original from Spanish with chorizo and onion.

[agustinangulopalomares]

Do you really mean this is a spanish paella??🤣🤣🤣. I don't know who taught you to make paellas but you wasted your time.

[winchangkou]

did the paella take a week tor more o make thats much work

[juanherrerohernandez]

Hay q informarse bien antes de hacer algo q desconoces. Eso no se parece en nada a una paella de marisco. CHORIZO

[minminsun]

Mussels are open, we’re they frozen ones?

[abheceshabemuskk]

so many wrong things I've never seen in any type of spanish paella, first the stock: if used we never use herbs nor vegetables or tomato, not fried only boiling some fish or the heads and rasps is enough very light stock . The chorizo makes me painfully cringe, its a big no in any spanish paella. then the mussels and the shrimps are added at the end, cooked with the final liquid and vapor of the paella.
Last the sofrito is not well performed here..the onion must be more fried before adding the other things and the tomato must be a lot more reduced and added after the vegetables.
