Start by cleaning and preparing all your seafood. Devein the shrimp, clean the mussels, and cut the lobster and cuttlefish into bite-sized pieces.
Next, cook your rice according to the package instructions, but add the saffron to the water to give it a beautiful color and flavor.
While the rice is cooking, saute your onion, bell peppers, and garlic in olive oil until they are soft and fragrant.
Add your seafood to the pan and cook until it is done. This will vary depending on the type of seafood, but shrimp and cuttlefish will become opaque, mussels will open up, and lobster will turn a bright red color.
Finally, combine your cooked rice with the sauteed vegetables and seafood. Mix everything together well and serve your seafood paella with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
