150 grams of King Prawns
300 grams of Squid
200 grams of Cod cut into bite size chunks
1 red pepper cut into 1 cm  size chunks
1 Green Pepper cut into 1 cm size chunks
3 Shallots finely chopped
3 garlic cloves finely chopped
600ml of Seafood or fish stock
A big pinch of Saffron
1 tsp of Hot Spanish Paprika
300g of Paella Rice , if you cant find use risotto rice

Method

1) Fry the garlic when it starts to sizzle add the shallots and fry for about 4 minutes ( Medium high heat)
2) Then add the peppers and cook for 3 minutes
3)  Then add the rice
4) Add the stock , paprika and saffron and bring to the boil then  let it simmer on a medium high heat
5) Add the Seafood then stir it to so  its all equally distributed , then leave the paella for 20 minutes without stirring.
6) The stock should be mostly absorbed and the rice should be cooked
7) Put a clean cloth over the frying pan for 5 minutes ,  then serve , I  garnished with some chillis and home grown parsley but this is up to you. Enjoy
