Heat the olive oil in a paella pan over medium to high heat. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook until the onion begins to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Pour in the rice and cook, stirring constantly, for a further 5 minutes or until the rice is translucent. Mix in the clams, shrimp, broth, spanish paprika, saffron, salt, and pepper. Cover, and cook for 25 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove from the heat. Taste for salt, and arrange the sweet red bell peppers in a pattern over the rice. Cover again and wait 5 minutes before serving.
