A hard saffron injected layer of rice and sauteed veggies beat with squid, mussels, and shrimp. That is the thing that this Spanish Paella is about! One of the most popular Mediterranean dishes getting altogether investigated right now!
Alright, in the event that I cherished it so much why the hellfire I haven't made it until yesterday? I don't have the foggiest idea. By one way or another the planning wasn't right constantly and there was constantly a reason not to make it. There were times we needed more cash for it (fish is insane costly in my nation), at that point we had cash yet I was too languid to even think about making it, and a million different reasons that way. However, the opportunity has arrived! Here, in Tenerife, where we are investing our energy now, the sea is at our feet as is the plenitude of fish. Every one of the stars adjusted for me to make a true Spanish Seafood Paella!
Presently we should clarify what Spanish paella is. This dish originates from Valencia, the Spanish town situated along the Mediterranean coast. There are a wide range of sorts of it and the fixings vary yet it's essentially rice blended in with veggies, various kinds of meat, and flavors. Saffron is an absolute necessity! The first formula comprises of chicken, hare, green and white beans, and snails. In any case, the most all inclusive famous formula is Spanish fish paella where the meat is supplanted by the sea's blessings. You can likewise chance upon blended paellas where fish and meat is consolidated together. Valencians, however, demand that solitary meat (chicken+rabbit) and fish forms are valid.

Instructions
- In a paella pan or a large skillet (I used a 12-inch non-stick skillet), add the olive oil and fry the onion until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt, paprika, and saffron and stir well. Cook until the tomatoes are thickened and reduced (5-7 minutes).
- Add the squid and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, mix the stock and wine and bring to a boil. Pour over the rice and bring to a boil once again. Add more salt, if needed. Spread the rice out evenly in the skillet and from now on don't stir it anymore.
- Cook over medium-low heat for about 25 minutes. Move and rotate the pan so that the rice cooks evenly. After about 15 minutes, lay the shrimp on top. Cook until they have become pink on both sides. If the rice looks to dry, add more boiling stock.
- Turn off the heat and cover the skillet with foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, steam the mussels by adding a cup of water and mussels in a pot. Cover and when they open, they are done. Throw away any mussels that have not opened.
- Finally, remove the foil and arrange the mussels and lemon wedges on top. Serve with aioli sauce and some olives. Enjoy!
