There is something sexy about paella. Maybe it’s the name. Maybe it’s the pile of seafood sitting on a bed of golden rice. Either way, with this paella recipe will be sure to impress your family and friends. My seafood paella recipe brings together prawns, mussels, clams, chicken wings and chorizo, with bacon tucked into…
This easy seafood stew recipe brings together mussels, prawns, clams and chunks of fish in a rich tomato sauce, with baby potatoes and corn to soak up all that flavour.
