Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ cups Arborio or paella rice

  • ½ tsp saffron threads (or 1 tsp turmeric)

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ cup white wine

  • 3 cups seafood or chicken broth

  • ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • ½ lb mussels, cleaned and debearded

  • ½ lb clams, scrubbed clean

  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ½ cup frozen peas

  • 1 lemon, sliced for garnish

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Sauté the aromatics: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.

  • Toast the rice: Stir in the Arborio or paella rice, saffron, and smoked paprika, toasting for 1-2 minutes until the rice is well coated.

  • Deglaze with wine: Pour in the white wine, stirring until mostly absorbed.

  • Simmer the broth: Gradually add the seafood or chicken broth, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the rice absorb the liquid (about 15 minutes).

  • Add seafood & veggies: Nestle in the shrimp, mussels, and clams, then sprinkle in the cherry tomatoes and peas. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the shellfish open and shrimp turn pink. Discard any unopened shellfish.

  • Garnish & serve: Remove from heat, let sit for 5 minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Serve straight from the sauté pan for an authentic touch!
