Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Heat the olive oil in a large paella pan over medium-high heat. Add the squid tubes and tentacles and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the squid from the pan and set aside.
2
Add the shrimp to the pan and cook until pink and just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside with the squid.
3
Add the mussels and clams to the pan, cover with a lid, and cook until the shellfish are open, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the shellfish from the pan and set aside with the squid and shrimp.
4
Add the smoked paprika, saffron threads, and garlic to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
5
Add the rice to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is coated in the spice mixture and slightly toasted.
6
Add 2 cups of water to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
