Seafood paella

Authentic Valencian seafood paella is one of the most traditional in the country. Although seafood is quite expensive today, especially red shrimp and crayfish, in the past the price was rather cheap, to the point that only 50 or 60 years ago, the galeras were given away at the fishmongers. Seafood paella was a fisherman’s dish. Today we must take advantage of the seasons of less demand when prices are cheaper, such as winter. A light recipe made up of vegetables, fish and seafood.

INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PEOPLE
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (150ml)
2 or 3 ripe tomatoes, grated
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
400g of rice (100g per person)
Between 800ml and 1 litre of fish stock
1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
A few strands of saffron
4 small or medium-sized monkfish tails
4 prawns, 4 crayfish and 4 mantis shrimp

The paella pan will be 45 or 50 cm in diameter, the thinner it is made, the tastier the paella will be.
