Cooking Method

To make a flavourful paella make sure you start with a good broth. Here's how to prepare the broth. First, combine the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan and just bring to a simmer (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
Next is to prepare the herb blend by combining the parsley and next 4 ingredients (parsley through 2 garlic cloves) set this aside.
To prepare the Paella, trim the connective tissue from the monkfish and cut into 1-inch pieces. Next, peel and devein the shrimp but keep the tails intact.
Get a paellera or a large skillet and make it nice and hot over medium heat. Pour 1 tablespoon oil and add the fish and shrimp. Saute for 1 minute (the seafood mixture will not be cooked through). Remove seafood mixture form pan, and keep warm.
Throw in the onion and bell pepper to the pan, and saute for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, paprika, crushed red pepper, and 3 garlic cloves. Cook for 5 minutes before adding the rice. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Stir in the broth, herb blend, and peas. Bring to a low boil, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add clams to the pan, nestling them into the rice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes or until shells open and discard any unopened shells.
Stir in the seafood mixture, and arrange shrimp, heads down, in rice mixture. Arrange pimento slices spoke-like on top of rice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with lemon juice then remove from heat. Cover with a towel, and let stand for 10 minutes and that's it. You know for sure that your mom loves you when she serves you this Seafood Paella. Definitely a labor of love!
