Ingredients:

To make this delicious seafood paella, start by heating the olive oil in a large paella pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant. Add the chopped bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes until they are tender.
Next, add the short-grain rice to the pan and stir until the grains are coated with the oil and vegetables. Add the saffron threads and smoked paprika and stir to combine. Pour in the white wine and cook until it has evaporated.
Now it's time to add the seafood mix and stock to the pan. Stir everything together and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed.
Once the paella is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve hot. This dish is perfect for sharing with family and friends and is sure to impress your guests with its vibrant flavors and beautiful presentation.
