Seafood Paella is a traditional Spanish dish that originates from the region of Valencia. It is known for its vibrant colors and rich flavors, typically featuring a mix of seafood such as shrimp, mussels, and calamari. The dish is made with Bomba rice, which absorbs the flavors of the broth and spices, particularly saffron, giving it a distinct yellow hue.
The preparation of Seafood Paella involves cooking the rice in a wide, shallow pan called a paellera. This method allows for even cooking and the formation of a crispy layer of rice at the bottom, known as socarrat. Paella is often enjoyed as a communal dish, bringing people together to share a delicious meal.
