Recipe: Paella di Mariscos (Spain, Valencia) Paella with Seafood # 1

I wanted to post at least one authentic paella recipie. I like this one as a seafood version. But Paella doesn't have to be this complicated for Americans to prepare. We already have "yellow rice" in the stores if you don't want to make it from scratch with the dry saffron. Then just get a paella pan, a variety of seafood or your choice and prepare on a stove or outdoor grill or propane burner. One of the nice things to do during the last few minutes for presentation is to add the strips or roasted red pepper and baby peas in adecrotive fashion. If you add mussles, clams or lobster chunks it's nice to leave them in the shell, the presentation is more dramatic and special.

Paella Valencia contains large beans, green beans and typically chicken or pork. At least that's what I saw on the street.
