 Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Rice, Seafood, Herbs
      Yield: 6 servings

    1/2 c  Olive oil
  1 1/4 lb Chicken thighs
    1/2 c  Onion; diced
      2 cl Garlic; chopped
    1/2    Bell pepper; diced
    1/2    Red bell pepper; diced
    1/4 lb Calamari rings
    1/4 lb Small (U-60) shrimp; peeled,
           - deveined
      1 ts Salt
      2 ts Saffron threads
 14 1/2 oz Can crushed tomatoes
    1/2 c  Peas
      3 c  Long grain rice
      6 c  Water
      6 lg Clams in shell; scrubbed
      6    Jumbo (U-25) shrimp in
           - shells
      6 lg Sea scallops
      6    Wedges lemon

  Heat olive oil in a very large skillet or paella pan
  over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Place
  chicken thighs skin-side down into oil and sear until
  golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes; set aside.

  Stir in onion and garlic, and cook until the onion has
  softened and turned translucent, about 1 minute. Add
  green and red bell peppers, calamari, and small shrimp;
  cook for 2 minutes more.

  Stir in salt, saffron, tomatoes, peas, rice, and water
  until well combined. Add chicken thighs, and simmer for
  15 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to
  make sure rice does not stick.

  Decoratively nestle clams and jumbo shrimp into the
  rice. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for
  10 minutes. Place the scallops into the paella, recover,
  and continue simmering until the rice is tender and the
  scallops firm and opaque, about 5 minutes.

  Garnish with lemon wedges to serve.
