STEP BY STEP
PREPARE THE OCTOPUS
Start this recipe by putting the octopus in and out of the boiling water to scare it. After this, we cook it for 35 minutes and set aside.
We will use the water that we have used to cook the octopus as the cooking broth for the rice, so take the necessary water in a suitable container and reserve it with the octopus for later.
PREPARE THE REST OF THE SEAFOOD
Next, we begin to prepare the rest of the seafood. We peel the shrimp, reserving the heads and tails for later. In turn, we cut the cuttlefish into bite-sized pieces and a couple of sliced octopus legs.
Include olive oil and salt in the paella, add the cuttlefish and fry until it starts to pop.
MAKE THE SOFRITO
Once the cuttlefish begin to jump, move them to the ends and include the shrimp heads. Crush them with a paddle to extract the juice and remove them from the paella.
To finish this stir-fry, include a couple of cubes of salmorreta, let it dissolve and mix well with the cuttlefish afterwards.
PREPARE THE BROTH
Once the salmorreta has melted, add the octopus broth that we had previously reserved as the cooking broth.
When you have introduced all the broth, add a couple of saffron strands.
ADD THE RICE AND DECORATE
With our broth ready, we add the rice, spread it over the paella with a spoon or paddle and let it cook.
Halfway through cooking, add the shrimp tails and octopus slices. We finish cooking and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Having followed these steps you will have octopus and red shrimp rice on your table, enjoy every bite of this rice, ricers!
