Critical Success Points

  • Making a flavorful shrimp stock from shells.
  • Do not stir the rice after adding the broth – essential for socarrat.
  • Achieving the crispy bottom layer (socarrat) by cooking uncovered and finishing with foil.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw shrimp shells and chicken with separate cutting boards to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Use caution when working with hot oil and the sharp knife for lobster.
  • Ensure clams are alive before cooking; discard any that do not open.
