Preparation
Start by cutting the squid into squares about 2cm long. Then in a frying pan (paella pan best) over medium-high heat, add about 4 tablespoons of oil and sauté the caramelized onion, the minced garlic and parsley, the smoked paprika and mix everything very well and incorporate the grated tomato, sauté for a minute.
Now add the shrimp and squid, cook for 2 more minutes and add the raw rice; Leave it on the fire, stirring constantly to avoid burning. This step will enhance the natural flavor of the rice, resulting in a tastier paella.
Add the broth little by little trying that everything is covered by it. The proportion is more or less two ladle spoons of broth for every 90g of rice. Let cook over medium-low heat until the broth starts to dry and decorate with the prawns and mussels.
It is time to put the paella in the oven preheated to 160ºC for 12 minutes. When the time is up, turn off the oven, take out the paella and cover it with aluminum foil and put it back in the oven for 12 more minutes.
Done, the paella should be perfectly cooked, we paint the prawns with the minced garlic parsley to give them more flavor.
You can accompany this delicious dish with salad and bread!
