Finely chop 3 garlic cloves, dice half an onion, and cut half a red bell pepper into small cubes.
Cut fresh squid tubes into small squares. Prepare 12 peeled and deveined large shrimp and clean 8 fresh mussels.
Heat an authentic paella pan over medium-high heat and add one third cup of extra virgin olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, season it with sea salt and sauté the diced squid for about 2 minutes. Then remove the squid from the pan.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan and sauté for one minute, then add the diced red bell pepper.
After about 3 minutes, stir in half a cup of tomato paste. Season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and half a teaspoon of smoked paprika, then mix well.
Return the squid to the pan and stir to combine. Pour in 2 and a half cups of fish stock.
Sprinkle in the powdered saffron and gently stir to distribute evenly.
When the stock comes to a boil, add one cup of short-grain rice and gently stir to spread the rice evenly across the pan.
After 5 minutes, add the shrimp and fresh mussels. Stop stirring the rice; instead, gently shake the pan occasionally.
