In Spain, this recipe is usually called arroz de marisco, while “paella” traditionally refers to the Valencian version with chicken and rabbit. But outside of Spain, “seafood paella” is the name everyone knows — so today I’ll teach you how to cook it step by step, with all the tips to make it taste just like the ones by the Mediterranean.

Que artista estas hecho, habre visto 100 videos de penya haciendo paellas en los ultimos anyos, y eres el unico que lo ha hecho todo como se tiene que hacer, hasta el nacarado, lo unico que te hace falta es explicar que el caldo tiene que ser un buen caldo, y si lo puedes hacer tu mejor, que es lo que nadie hace en los videos de paellas, explicar como se hace un buen caldo para paella, pero por lo demas 10 de 10, me encantaria haberla probado, pq tenia una pintaca...

Australian here: found this video by googling ‘arroz con seafood’ 🤣🤣 I didn’t want to say con cosas.
I wish we had easier access to rabbit and snails here, but no - Australia ‘paella’ has chorizo and prawns.
This recipe looks fantastic regardless.

Buenas desde Cantabria, muy buena pinta, mi familia lo llamamos paella de marisco o arroz con marisco jajaja, igual mostrar lo siguiente una fidegua que es casi igual pero con pasta en vez de arroz.

Y un cocido montañes (este es el primer de tus vídeos que veo).

La paella Valenciana tradicional es de garrafón, judía plana, y pato, no pollo /conejo. En la Albufera hay arroz y hay patos, no arroz y conejos/ pollos! jejejje

I feel that the apologies to people from Valencia are tedious. I'm not talking about this video only. Many of the videos I've watched feature the same obsequiousness. It is very similar to the apologies heard in videos about whether you are allowed to put beans in a dish most of us call "chili". There is a lot of faux outrage -- "Texans don't put beans in chili!" But the dirty secret is that Texans do put beans in chili. There is a set of rules for Neapolitan pizza but there seems to be less outrage when someone refers to a pizza in that style as "Neapolitan" but with a variation. I can appreciate that the original version of these classic dishes had a particular set of ingredients and method of cooking, but I don't think anyone has to apologize for using the word "paella" or "chili" when they create a dish that is in the style of the traditional version without following all the so-called rules.

Thank you, chef. Paella is a nuanced dish where less is more. Appreciate how you don’t ’dumb it down' and show us how to get that last bit of flavor from the ingredients. Muchos gracias. ❤❤❤

Hola from South Africa! Once a year we visit our best friends who have a wonderful villa in Mallorca, away from the tourist crowds. They are great foodies and I learnt how to make seafood paella there, Mallorca style. It basically follows your recipe but chicken is also added a bit like your other recipe, and they add peas at the end which is great for colour and its gentle taste. I've never managed to get a rice crust in the pan. I however bought all the key ingredients from Spain and was blessed with 4 litres of the most amazing olive oil made from the trees on their estate. I once tried using Italian risotto rice - it's OK but I found it quite starchy. I've been talked into making paella for 17 people over Christmas. My hosts are keen fishermen and there will be fresh fish (whatever is caught) and there'll be lots of mussels. Rest I'll buy (prawns large and medium), calamari amd whatever else I can find in a store. I have 2 pans good for calamari. I'm terriffied because I believe I'll cook over open woodfire! temperature difficult to control. And I'll have a stick to prevent anyone stirring the paella, people are keen to help and paella is not commonly cooked here. Thanks for these posts, I have bookmarked both recipes! And am following your channel. BTW I prefer Spanish cuisine more than French... PS I've never toasted the saffron, going to try. I think I have enough.

No sé como he acabado aprendiendo cocina española de manos de otro español, pero en inglés 😂

@romeromoya6467

just made this for my family! i wasn't able to find most of the ingredients since i'm in a desert part of the united states, but they all loved it from the ingredients i could find! the best part was that my grandfather, who has always had a bad sense of smell, said he loved how the sofrito smelled while i was cooking it, so thank you for giving me a recipe that could bring out the senses that i thought my loved ones didn't have anymore!

Muchas gracias desde los EEUU. Mis antepasados son de Espana y el aprender a cocinar la comida es una manera para conectarme con ellos y comprender mis raices familiares. Quisiera hacerle una pregunta en cuanto al paellero. He visto dos tipos, unos que echan las llamas hacia arriba y otros que las llamas salen a los lados. ¿Vale el mayor costo comprar uno con las llamas que salen a los lados?

Y perdon si el castellano mio esta muy mal el idioma es otra cosa de mis antepasados que estoy aprendiendo

Love the paella content. What kind of pan do you use? It looks like an enameled version. Is there a reason why you chose this instead of stainless steel or carbon steel? Thank!

Hi Chef, can you create another video for Mixta paella soon? Thx 🙏🙏🙏🙏

@DragonFruit-u4g

Few questions from America, Chef :)
1) Are Lemon wedges and sweet peas not added to the seafood paella/arroz con mariscos?
2) Did you use homemade or boxed seafood broth?
3) Is Aoili “dots” appropriate for this paella?
4) what size papa was used?
5) is rosemary only for non seafood?

Good instructional and informative video. Hope to receive a reply soon. 🙏🙏

@DragonFruit-u4g
