1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 large scampi or dublin bay prawns in the shell
1 medium spanish onion cut into 1/4 inch dice
1/2 cup pureed ripe tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
1 teaspoon saffron threads
1 tablespoons sweet pimenton (spanish smoked paprika)
1 pound cleaned cuttlefish (or calamari) cut into 1 inch pieces
2 quarts fish stock
2 cups bomba or other short grain rice
1 pound monkfish tail, cleaned and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 pound manila clams, scrubbed
Heat a 14-18 inch paella pan over medium high heat
Add the oil and heat until smoking, add the scampi and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add the onion to the pan and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato puree, stirring it into the onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add the salf, saffron, pimenton and cuttlefish and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until th e cuttlefish firms up slightly. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir well to distribute it evenly. Add the monkfish and clams, arranging them nicely, bring the stock back to a boil, and cook, without stirring for 10 minutes. Add the scampi, taste for salt and cook, again without stirring, for 10-15 ore minutes, or until the liquid is almost completely absorbed and the pan starts to make a crackling noise (don't worry, this is what you want). remove from theheat and let rest for 10 minutes fefore serving.
I may have made spelling errors or typing errors. If you get on the web sight you can buy this really great cook book or watch for the show on tv.
