Paella is one of my favorite dishes to serve for any special occasions and my family & friends loved it.

There are many variations of Paella recipe out there and here’s my personal take that may slightly differ from others.

My version of Seafood Paella is a delicious and flavorful seafood recipe that you can easily make at home. I used fresh prawns, mussels, squids and chorizo making this meal packed with flavors! 

Although the authentic paella doesn't combine the meat and fish in the paella. But for me it’s all a matter of personal choice and I enjoyed seafood paella with chorizo on it. So it’s all up to you.

Bomba rice, Calasparra or Valencia are the choices of rice in making paella but Calrose rice is the best substitute if these rice are not available. Calrose is what I used in this recipe. Please note that the amount of liquid depends on the type of rice that you’re using.

You can also substitute the homemade seafood stock with a chicken stock if you’re in a hurry. However, the taste of paella may be sacrificed as homemade seafood stock has more flavor.

This recipe makes approximately 3-4 main course servings. I used a 13-inch pan, but if you double the recipe, I recommend using a much wider pan for best results.
