6. STEP 2-THE FISH PREPARATION: While the rice is cooking, prepare the seafood.
7. Heat extra olive oil in a large pan, and saute a few extra sausage pieces in the olive oil. Remove the sausage, then saute the shrimp, pieces of lobster, mahi-mahi and scallops for a couple of minutes.
8. Remove the seafood, and mix into the paellera, stirring all of the seafood into the rice.
