spanish paella in pan

Cook all the ingredients for about 20 minutes over a low gas light and tasting for salt. After 20 minutes we add the rice, distributing it evenly, making sure the rice is covered with liquid. The gas should get onto full to heat get it to boiling. It takes about 20 minutes for the paella rice to cook, however add the mussels and prawns at 10 minutes. Do not stir the rice once you have added it to the paella pans, just change it under a low heat. All the broth should be absorbed when finished. Take the paella off the hob and let stand for about 10 minutes covering the top with foil. If the rice has been cooked correctly, the rice grains should be loose, not clumped together or having a mushy texture.
