  • In a frying pan, heat half of the oil and add the onion. Fry until transparent. Add the tomato and let it cook for 5 minutes, then pass it through a food mill and place it in the paella pan.
  • In a pot with cold salted water, cook the shrimp shells and fish bones that will be used.
  • In another pot, cook the clams with a little water over the heat; as soon as they open their shells, remove half of the shell that does not have the clam and set aside.
  • Strain and reserve the broth from the shrimp shells and the clams.
  • Crush the garlic, saffron, and parsley. Add a little of the hot broth.
  • In a paella pan, put the remaining oil along with the sautéed mixture that you already have.
  • Add green peppers, chorizo, the fish in pieces, and the rice. Stir with a wooden spoon, add salt and the broth (5 cups).
  • Spread everything across the paella pan. Add the saffron mixture, incorporate the shrimp and clams, and adjust the salt.
  • Arrange the strips of red bell pepper and the peas. From the moment you add the broth, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes on low heat.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove the paella pan from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
