About Spanish seafood paella

Spanish Seafood Paella is a vibrant and flavorful dish originating from the coastal regions of Spain, showcasing the country’s rich culinary heritage. This one-pan recipe is built on a base of short-grain rice, saffron, olive oil, and a medley of fresh seafood like shrimp, mussels, squid, or clams, often accompanied by aromatic vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Paella not only provides high-quality lean proteins from seafood but is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health. Olive oil offers healthy monounsaturated fats, while saffron adds antioxidants. However, the sodium content can be higher due to stock or seasoning, so moderation is key. Packed with wholesome ingredients, seafood paella brings a balance of nutrients while delivering the bold and comforting flavors of Mediterranean cuisine.
