Seafood Paella is one of my favourite recipes. The entire recipe from start to finish is full of flavour and textures that combine superbly. When you are looking for an impressive Spanish Main Dish to serve, then this is it. I use Mussels, Squid and king prawns but any seafood can be used. In the past, I have included cod, crab and clams to great success.
