Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Add the onion to the same pan, sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add the grated tomato and smoked paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the tomato softens.

  4. 4

    Stir in the saffron threads, then pour in the fish stock. Bring to a gentle boil.

  5. 5

    Return the toasted pasta to the pan. Stir to combine, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add the fish chunks and shrimp. Scatter the peas over the top. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Continue to simmer, uncovered, without stirring, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.

  8. 8

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

  9. 9

    Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
