• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 lb shrimp, shells removed and reserved
• 1⁄4 cup vegetable or canola oil
• 1 lb squid
• 1 cup sofrito sauce
• 12 gilthead fillets
• 12 norway lobsters (langoustines)
• 12 mussels
• 2 cups rice
• 1 cup tomato-based pasta sauce

directions

1. Cover the shrimp shells with water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer to create a shrimp broth, about 20 minutes. Strain.
2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Add the shrimp, squid, sofrito, gilthead, langoustines and mussels and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside. Stir the rice into the juices from the seafood in the pan and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the shrimp broth and red sauce and return the seafood to the pan; stir together. Cover and cook until the broth has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
