This dish serves four and is perfect for those who love a seafood extravaganza. However, it’s important to note that this isn’t suitable for those with shellfish allergies or dietary restrictions like vegan or vegetarian diets.

Our star ingredients are fresh mussels, clams, large shrimp and squid – all cleaned and prepped to perfection. These are cooked in olive oil along with finely chopped onions and minced garlic which add depth to the flavor profile. The red and green bell peppers not only add color but also lend their unique sweetness to the dish. We use canned diced tomatoes for convenience without compromising on taste. The short grain rice (like Bomba or Calasparra) absorbs all these flavors beautifully while maintaining its texture in our Seafood Paella with Saffron dish. Speaking of saffron, it’s soaked in warm water before adding it to the pot along with smoked paprika (pimentón), giving our Spanish Mussels and Clams Recipe its signature golden hue and smoky undertones. A splash of white wine adds acidity while lemon wedges served on the side allow guests to adjust the tanginess as per their preference.
