How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Wash and clean the mussels. Discard any that are open or with broken shells. Remove beards and adhered dirt. Reserve in a colander covered with a damp cloth.
2. Peel the bodies of the shrimp, leaving heads and tails intact. Mark the backs and remove the sandy entrails. Reserve.
3. Place the saffron in a cup and cover with 50 ml of hot water. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
4. If you use long noodles, break them with your hands into pieces of approximately 1 cm.
5. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or paella pan. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until transparent.
6. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add the noodles and toast for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the paprika and mix.
7. Add the monkfish and squid. Pour the saffron with its water. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
8. Add the hot broth and distribute the grated tomatoes on top. Cook over medium heat for 6 minutes covered.
9. Uncover and move the top layer of noodles to incorporate the ingredients. Place the mussels in the pasta with the hinges facing down. Place the shrimp on top.
10. Cover and cook for another 6 minutes until the mussels open, the prawns are pink and the noodles are cooked.
11. Let rest 2-3 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
