1.- Add the oil
Add some oil that serves to level the pan. The oil should be centered. Add some salt too, and light the fire!

On this point, add noodle, stir and add paprika. Fry noodle and paprika along with the fish.
7. Add the fish broth
Add the broth, we add 1,5 parts of broth for each one of noodle. Season with salt, the amount will go to taste but it is important to note that fish in itself is already salty, you should keep taste during the process. Add saffron and stir to blend.
8.- Put the fish
On this point we also put the shellfish and mussel that will be placed decorating the paella. Strong heat up to start to boil. Fire is essential in this process, the aim is that at 12 minutes noodles are cooked.
Key, if noodle's size change must take into account that the cooking time will vary. A larger size more time and vice versa.
READY TO EAT!!
After 12 minutes of cooking, the noodles should be cooked, let rest and ready to eat.
Keep in mind that fideuá should be mellow, not soupy nor dry.
