 Hot broth added |
 Broth has boiled down to level of top of rice |
Seafood - today clams, little octopuses, head-on shrimp - is added all around, pushing it into the rice gently |
Cooking is done when liquid has been all absorbed/evaporated. Paella is taken off the fire |
 After it has rested for 15 - 20 minutes, parsley is sprinkled on top and paella is served with lemon wedges, a little salad and a lot of wine. |
