Recipe of Paella with lobster

Vida Recetas Editorial

Discover how to prepare a paella with seafood and lobster, a spectacular dish for special occasions or a family lunch that will impress everyone. This recipe combines the tradition of Valencian paella with the luxury of lobster, langoustines, and shrimp, achieving a creamy rice full of sea flavor.

Why does this paella work?

The secret lies in the sofrito: we sauté onion and garlic, add grated tomato until it loses its acidity, and then incorporate sweet paprika and rice, which absorbs all the aromas. Fish stock, in a ratio of 2.5 times the volume of rice, ensures a perfect texture. The lobster, although optional, adds a gourmet touch and an intense flavor that enhances the whole.

Variations and tips

  • If you can't find lobster, use prawns or carabineros.
  • Boneless fish (hake, monkfish) flakes and adds juiciness.
  • The ñora pepper, added halfway through cooking, gives a subtle sweet flavor and reddish color.

This paella is ideal for 4-6 people and pairs perfectly with garlic bread and white wine. Go ahead and surprise everyone with this easy and delicious recipe!
