FIDEOS WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook fava beans 1 minute. Drain and immediately transfer beans to ice-water bath until cool. Peel beans; set aside.
• Melt butter in an 11 1/2-inch paella pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until bright red, about 1 minute; remove shrimp from pan and set aside. Add pasta to paella pan and stir until well coated with butter. Cook until evenly browned and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring, and allowing pasta to absorb stock after each addition before adding more. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add pepper paste, roasted peppers, olives, reserved fava beans, and basil; stir to combine. Add shrimp and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with pecorino Romano. Divide evenly between 2 plates and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.

SEAFOOD FIDEOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay the dry vermicelli pasta on a sheet pan and toast until it is all a nice amber color, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Cook the toasted vermicelli in boiling salted water until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the vermicelli and set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the shallots and garlic in a large rondeau pan over medium heat. Cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the pipperade, heavy cream and saffron stock. Cook until the sauce has reduced to a thick sauce (nape), 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cooked vermicelli and stir until fully incorporated. Add the mussels and steam until they fully open, a few minutes.
• While the mussels are cooking, saute the shrimp in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until just cooked. Season with salt.
• Add the sauteed shrimp to the fideos. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fideos and sprinkle with the chopped herbs. Serve immediately.
• Sweat the bell peppers, onions and garlic in the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Halfway through the cooking process, add chile flakes and paprika. Continue to sweat until most of the liquid is gone. Remove from the heat and add the piquillo peppers, poblano and vinegar.
• Put the wine and saffron into a pot. Turn the heat to high and reduce the wine by half. By then the saffron will be bloomed and ready. Add the veg stock and bring to boil. Let boil for a few minutes, and then cool it down.

FIDEOS WITH SEAFOOD

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add fideos and cook, stirring frequently until well browned, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fideos to a bowl and set aside. Add onion, garlic, and pimenton to pot and cook until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Using your hands, break up tomatoes and add to pot along with their juices. Increase heat to high and cook, stirring frequently, until tomatoes have broken down and sauce has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place stock, wine, bay leaf, and saffron in another large Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Add mussels, shrimp, and clams and cook until all the clams and mussels have opened and shrimp is opaque, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer mussels, shrimp, and clams to a large bowl and set aside. Add shellfish cooking liquid and fideos to tomato sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, until the fideos have absorbed a lot of the liquid and are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Add mussels, shrimp, and clams and simmer until just heated through. Serve immediately.

SEAFOOD FIDEO

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño and garlic in a blender and puree until smooth. In a skillet, heat 3 tablespoons Annatto Oil over medium heat. Add the pureed vegetables and cook for 5 minutes. In a large pot over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of Annatto Oil. Add the spaghetti and sauté until golden. Add the clam juice, 6 cups water, saffron and smoked paprika. Stir in the pureed vegetables. Cook until the spaghetti is al dente. Using a slotted spoon, remove as much spaghetti as possible from the pot to warm bowls. Cover and keep warm. Add the black cod, shrimp, clams, fennel and peas to the pot. Cover and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the crab and kale and heat through. Discard any clams that don't open. Divide the seafood and broth over the pasta and serve hot.
