Seafood Paella

A large pan of vibrant seafood paella, filled with golden rice topped with prawns, mussels, clams, and langoustines. Lemon wedges are arranged around the pan, adding a bright, fresh contrast to the rich, savory seafood. The dish is being presented by someone holding the pan, ready to serve.

Hosting a New Year’s party or feeding a crowd? This Seafood Paella is the ultimate one-pan dish that’s rich, flavorful, and visually stunning. Originating as a Spanish peasant dish, paella has evolved into a luxurious seafood feast, packed with shrimp, mussels, clams, and Cajun andouille sausage. The key to a perfect paella? Cooking the rice undisturbed so it develops those delicious, smoky, crusty bits at the bottom!

Joe’s Butcher and Fish Market has everything you need, from the freshest seafood to quality Lundberg gluten-free rice and locally made Cajun andouille sausage.
