Saffron Scented Lobster Paella Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof Dutch oven. Add the onions and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the bell peppers and cook over medium heat for 5 more minutes. Lower the heat, add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute longer. Stir in the rice, chicken stock, saffron, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and place it in the oven. After 15 minutes, stir the rice gently with a wooden spoon, and return it to the over to bake uncovered for 10 to 15 more minutes, until the rice is fully cooked.
• Transfer the paella back to the stove top and add the licorice-flavored liqueur. Cook the paella over medium heat for 1 minute, until the liqueur is absorbed by the rice. Turn off the heat and add the lobster, kielbasa, and peas and stir gently. Cover the paella, and allow it to steam for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a very large skillet or paella pan over medium-high heat. Add the head-on shrimp and sear on each side until they turn orange and have lightly browned (they should still be raw on the inside). Remove the shrimp and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir in red onion and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until the onion has softened and turned translucent. Stir in Arborio rice until coated with oil. Pour in the fish stock and season with saffron, paprika, lemon zest, and oregano. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat then stir in sea salt to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Decoratively nestle the mussels and head-on shrimp into the rice, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Next, push the red snapper and deveined shrimp into the rice, recover and simmer an additional 10 minutes. Finally, add lobster and sprinkle with diced tomatoes. Cover and simmer until the mussels have opened, the rice is tender, and the lobster is hot; about 5 minutes more.
• Serve in the paella pan garnished with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 inches of water to a boil in a large stockpot. Add lobsters, cover, and cook 13 minutes. Remove lobsters and cool just enough to handle. Crack shells and remove meat. Keep claws whole and chop remainder of meat into large pieces; reserve.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat a 12-inch ovenproof skillet or paella pan over medium-high. Add oil and saute onion and bell pepper until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add linguica and cook 3 minutes. Gently stir in rice and cook a few minutes to lightly toast.
• Add broth, saffron, and salt; bring to boil over high heat. Remove from heat, cover with a lid or sheet of foil, and place paella in oven for 10 minutes. Uncover; scatter clams on top of rice. Cover; cook until clams are open and liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes more, adding codfish and lobster in the last 3 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open. Garnish with parsley; serve.
