Instructions

  1. Heat up a cup of water and crumble the saffron in it. Let this steep while you peel shrimp, cut vegetables, etc.
  2. Pound the almonds, salt and garlic in a mortar and pestle until it's starting to become a paste, then add the parsley and pound into a smoother paste.
  3. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy pot. Sauté the onion until transparent and soft, but not browned. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Sprinkle some salt over everything.
  4. Add the shrimp and clams, brandy, tomatoes and roasted red peppers. Stir well and when this starts cooking nicely, stir and add the paprika, the saffron water and the wine. Bring this to a boil quickly, then add the squid and crabmeat.
  5. Once all the clams have opened up, loosen the picada with the lemon juice and stir it into the pot. Serve at once with crusty bread.
