Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your arroz de marisco. Use fresh, flavorful seafood, and a good quality rice. Choose a rice that is specifically designed for paella, such as Bomba or Calasparra rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: The most important step in making arroz de marisco is cooking the rice properly. Make sure to toast the rice in the oil before adding the liquid, and then simmer it gently until it is cooked through. The rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
