250gr. round rice

200gr. mussels
100gr. cuttlefish

150gr. grated carrots
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
100gr. peas
4 spoons extravirgin olive oil

DIRECTIONS

Start by preparing the seafood that you will use. Clean the mussels from impurities using a brush and bol in 150 ml of water until they open. Take the mussels out on o plate and keep the water used for boiling. Peel the shrimps and put them on a plate. Boil in 500 ml of water the head and cover of the shrimps. After 15 min separate the water from the shrimps’ head and covers boiled.
Now we need a “paellera” or a pan with a thick ground and large diameter, put the olive oil, add the thin chopped onion and garlic. Once the onion turns translucent, add the chopped peppers, grated carrots, the thin chopped cuttlefish and cook at low heat for 5-6 min.
Add the rice and fry and after 2-3 min add the hot soup from the shrimps and the one from the mussels, approx.. 750 ml.
Add the squid rings and the peas and let boil at medium heat. Add saffron or turmeric for color and season to taste. After 15 min we add the peeled shrimps and reduce the heat to minimum. When the rice is cooked, we add the mussels and let the pan covered for 5 min, with the fire off.

Enjoy!
