- Preparation
These are the steps to follow to make the mellow rice with baby squid and shrimp:
- 1. Clean the baby squids removing all the inner intestine and the feather (its small transparent skeleton) and wash with plenty of water.
- 2. Peel the shrimps remove the intestine and reserve the heads.
- 3. Add a splash of extra olive oil in a deep frying pan and fry the shrimp heads, squeezing them a little so that they release all their juices.
- 4. Then add the chopped garlic, the chopped onion, and a little salt to release all the juices. And poach everything slowly for a few minutes over low heat.
- 5. Then add the baby squids, the sweet Paprika and the grated tomato, a couple of bay leaves, and a glass of white wine, and let it reduce completely.
- 6. Then add 800ml of fish stock and when it starts to boil add salt to taste, saffron, and rice bomb.
- 7. We will have it cooked for 16 minutes, the first 5 minutes over high heat and the rest over low heat, chup chup.
- 8. We stir subtly so that the rice releases the starch.
- 9. Add the shrimp tails in the last 5 minutes of cooking and stir gently.
Once finished, we rest for a few minutes, and voila!
We already have ready a bowl of exquisite mellow rice with baby squid and shrimp.
