Seafood Paella is a favorite at our house and is often requested for special occasions. As such I always try to keep some saffron in my spice rack because it is an essential ingredient in paella. Saffron is an expensive spice and it is worth its weight in gold. Fortunately, a little goes a long way and only half a teaspoon is needed for this recipe.

Since last weekend was a long weekend and both Ro-Taro and Ro-Jiro would be home from college, I considered it a “special” occasion and weekend. I wanted to surprise them with this dish because I know they both love it. That meal turned out to kinda Mediterranean as I also made this Fresh Fig Lettuce Salad. Everything was delicious including the vinho verde Ro-Ri San and I drank.

Carbon Steel Paella Pan

This time I used my shallow 13½-inch paella pan to make this dish which produced a nice layer of toasted rice known as socarrat at the bottom of the pan. Traditionally, paella was cooked over an open fire uncovered. However, when cooked on the stove, I prefer to use a lid so that the rice will be thoroughly cooked. Otherwise, you may have to add a little more water and extend the cooking time to ensure that the rice grains are cooked through. Good thing I found a lid from an electric wok that was large enough to cover the paella pan.

Alternative Pans to Make Paella

If you do not have a paella pan, please use any shallow pan with a lid. A cast iron skillet would also work. Just grab a lid form some other pan.

Ingredients for Seafood Paella

You can use a variety of meats and seafood in this dish. I used sausage. Chorizo is the best but that is not something easily found in my neck of the woods and so I have to use Polish sausage instead. Chicken may be used in place of sausage. As for the seafood, any firm flesh fish is good. Shrimp, mussels, littleneck clams, and lobsters are all good choices. Do check out my ultimate Lobster Paella. It was great! Definitely one to try for an extra special occasion or just because. 🙂

This is what it looks like straight out of the oven. Beautiful right? It will look and taste even more amazing with a sprinkling of parsley and a few lemon wedges. I hope you’ll give it a try.
