1

Prep the Grill

First things first, fire up your grill and preheat it to medium-high heat. This will ensure a nice sear on the seafood and give your paella that smoky, charred flavor.

2

Prepare the Seafood

While the grill is heating up, it's time to gather your seafood squad. Grab some fresh prawns, mussels, squid, and your favorite firm white fish. Give them a rinse and pat them dry to get them ready for the grill.

3

Sauté the Aromatics

Next, it's time to build the flavor foundation of your paella. In a large paella pan or a skillet, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions, minced garlic, and a pinch of saffron (the secret ingredient!) and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.

4

Add the Rice and Broth

Once the aromatics are fragrant and golden, it's time to add the star of the show - the rice! Toast the rice for a minute or two in the pan, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Then, pour in enough chicken or vegetable broth to cover the rice completely.

5

Grill the Seafood

Now comes the fun part - grilling the seafood! Place the prawns, mussels, squid, and fish fillets directly on the preheated grill. Cook them for a few minutes on each side until they are nicely charred and cooked through. Don't forget to give them a sprinkle of salt and pepper for extra flavor.

6

Combine and Simmer

Once the seafood is grilled to perfection, transfer them to the pan with the rice and broth. Give everything a gentle stir to mix the flavors together. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the paella simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and tender.

7

Serve and Enjoy

Congratulations, your seafood paella is ready to be devoured! Serve it up in generous portions, garnish with fresh parsley, and get ready to impress your taste buds. Don't forget to gather your friends and family to enjoy this beachside delight together!
