**Experiment with the amounts, creativity is encouraged.  Use more or less of an ingredient depending on your taste buds, that's how to create the perfect Paella dish! 

Salt the meats, fish and seafood.  In a ‘paella’ pan, cook each one separately and set aside.  Do the same with the vegetables (except the onions).  Now caramelize the onion and when golden, add all of the previously cooked ingredients and stir.  Add the rice and the sweet red pepper, and stir for 1 minute.  Add the fish broth and the ‘picada’ and stir again.  Now place the shrimp and mussels on top, and cook for 8 minutes on the burner and 4 minutes more in an oven at 180 º C or 350º F.
