Cook for about 5 minutes, Put a colander in a large pot and strain the seafood into the pot in order to separate the fish stock, You should have about 4 cups of fish stock for 2 cups of rice. You could add more water to make up the difference if needed.. Pour the stock into a 4 quart pot and add the rice. Brink the stock up to a simmer. Then put the lid on the rice and place in the oven for about 25 minutes. Combine the rice, cilantro and the seafood together. Taste. And season with salt and pepper if necessary. The rice should be slightly soupy. If it is too dry you could add more water, stock or diced tomatoes add ¼ cup of white wine and up to ¼ cup of fish stock. Let the liquid come to a slight bubble or boil.3. Once bubbling, add your mussels and clams to the stockpot and cover it. (Note: only add if your seafood is still in its shell. If you bought just the meat for one or the other, don’t add it to the stockpot.)4. Keep the stockpot covered and let the mussels and clams steam for about 10 minutes. They will open up and can later be easily removed from their shells.5. After 10 minutes, take the stockpot off the heat and pour your shellfish into a colander set over a bowl. Remove and discard any that didn’t open. Keep and collect the wine/butter/shellfish juices in the bowl with the opened shellfish. This will be a delicious addition to the arroz de marisco6. Remove the shellfish from the shells and set aside. Stage 2:1. Set the stockpot back over medium-high heat and add your olive oil.2.

To deglaze and create the base for the stock, add the remaining white wine and stir well.5. After another 1 minute, add your carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and chili pepper. Stir for 1 minute Stage 3:1. With all vegetables in and cooked together, now add your the remaining fish or seafood broth and submerge the ingredients.2. Add your smoked paprika and salt and stir well. Bring your stock to a boil.3. Once the stock is boiling, add your rice. Let it boil and cook for 5 minutes. If you see it becoming too dry in the stockpot, add extra broth as needed. You want to have a semi-liquid consistency.4. After 5 minutes, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for another 7 minutes. Stage 4:1. After 7 minutes, add your shrimp and cook for another 3 minutes.2. Add your clam and mussel meats to the arroz de marisco. Cook for another 1 minute before removing the stockpot from the heat.3.
