Final Comments
To make Seafood Paella use the same recipe except leave off the chicken part. Add clams, mussels, oysters, lobster, crab, scallops, any kind of steak-like fish cut into cubes (tuna, salmon, etc). You can steam the seafood in sherry and water if you like before you add it to the rice dish. If you steam it in the rice dish, add at least a cup ot 2 of extra water and cook with lid on until liquid is absorbed.
NOTE: if any of the clams or shell fish do not open, do not eat them. Be sure to steam your seafood long enough so tht it will open, but not get rubbery.
