Authentic Fideuà de Marisco: Spanish Seafood Noodle Paella

Fideuà is a beloved Spanish dish from Valencia, similar to paella but made with short noodles and seafood instead of rice. This crowd-pleasing version features tender white fish, shrimp, and a savory saffron-scented broth for a burst of Mediterranean flavor in every bite.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow pan over medium heat. Add the noodles and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same pan, add the onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the tomatoes and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the stock, saffron, paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Add the toasted noodles, spreading them evenly across the pan. Cook uncovered for 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Nestle the fish pieces and shrimp into the noodles. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rest for 5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
