- 5. Add the chicken, sausage, rice, water, bay leafs, peas and saffron to the paellera. Stir in all the ingredients well. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for half an hour. The rice should be tender at this point.
- 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.
- 9. Remove paellera from stove, and place in the oven (preheat to 350 degrees). Bake for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- 10. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve. You may also garnish with sliced red bell peppers, asparagus spears and tomatoes . Enjoy!
