Ingredients:

» 3 1/2 oz. of small Shrimp
» 1 Pound of chopped Squid / Calamari
» 1 Tomato (minced)
» 2 Pounds of Rice
» 1 Tbsp. of Sweet Paprika
» Safran
» Olive Oil
» Minced Garlic
» 3 quarts of broth (from boiling fish)
» Red or Green Pepper

Make a broth by boiling some kind of fish with lots of flavor (you will only use the broth to make Paella). Pour some olive oil on the paella dish (you could use a deep, large pan if you don't have a paella dish but a paella dish will give you better results - get it at tienda.com or your local World Market store). Add the shrimp with minced garlic and fry it. Take them out and do the same with the chopped calamari, until the released water is completely evaporated. Add the minced tomato and some sweet paprika to the mix. Add the rice, along with the broth and some safran (Plus thin slices of red or green pepper if you like it). The broth has to be hot before it's added. If you're using an actual paella dish there's more room for evaporation so you could use 1 cup of rice per 3 cups of broth. If you're using a pot or a large pan, use only 2 cups of broth for each cup of rice. Cook it on low heat for about 1 hour and when it's all cooked, add the shrimp.
