Ingredients

  • 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb. mussels, scrubbed and cleaned
  • 1 lb. clams, scrubbed and cleaned
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. saffron threads
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large skillet
  • Chopping board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the red and green bell peppers and sauté for another 5 minutes.
  3. Add the rice to the pot and stir well to coat the grains with the oil and vegetables. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the rice is lightly browned.
  4. Add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, smoked paprika, and saffron threads to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid.
  6. While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  7. Add the mussels and clams to the skillet and pour in the white wine. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mussels and clams have opened. Remove from the heat.
  8. When the rice is done, add the cooked shrimp and shellfish to the pot and stir well to combine.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
