Spanish Paella

Heat paella pan over medium heat, ensuring the entire surface is heated evenly. Add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

Add minced garlic, parsley, and saffron to oil. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the cubed tuna, clams, and muscles. Sauté over medium heat (stirring constantly) until shells just begin to open.

Add rice. Cut lemon and squeeze juice over the rice. Add tomato sauce and mix.

Add 2-3 drops of yellow food coloring to water, then pour into paella pan. Add vegetable bullion and salt. Stir and “shake” the pan to mix.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then gradually reduce the heat so the paella simmers for about 15 minutes.

Add shrimp and simmer an additional 10-15 minutes until 90% of the water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and cover. Let the paella sit covered for about 5 minutes.

Remove cover and serve!
