Easy to Make Smoky Seafood Paella with Shrimp & Scallops
This Easy to Make Smoky Seafood Paella with Shrimp & Scallops, is loaded with Spanish flavors and comes together in just 40 minutes. The perfect paella for a weekend lunch or weeknight dinner. Best served next to a bottle of Spanish wine.
The best part about this paella? It´s made with less ingredients than a traditional seafood paella. But the flavors are still lip-smacking good, and as stated before, it´s super easy to make.
What really flavors this smoky paella is the sweet smoked Spanish paprika and the saffron. These two ingredients are a must-have when you´re making a paella. It´s what gives it that authentic Spanish flavor.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I used a 12-inch paella pan, but you can use a regular pan if you don´t have a paella pan. The scallops & shrimp I used I bought frozen and thawed out. The secret? Make sure to pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
PAELLA PAN
SAFFRON THREADS
SWEET SMOKED SPANISH PAPRIKA
SPANISH SEA SALT
