Paella
This paella brings together prawns, mussels, chorizo, and squid with saffron-infused rice. You'll start by building a quick seafood stock from prawn heads and parsley stalks, then infuse it with saffron. The chorizo renders its oil in the pan before the onion and garlic soften, creating a rich base for the rice and seafood. Serve it straight from the pan, with a squeeze of lemon.

Make Prawn Stock
In a wide, shallow pan, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Add the prawn heads and parsley stalks, letting them sizzle until the heads turn pink, then mash them with a potato masher. Pour in the sherry and 300ml water, season with salt, and simmer for 10 minutes to create a flavorful stock, continuing to mash the prawn heads as they cook. - 02
