Oven Roasted Mussels and Shrimp Paella

I’ve got a super easy recipe for you this week! Oven Roasted Mussels and Shrimp Paella!

Oven Roasted Mussels and Shrimp Paella

All you’ll need is a 12 inch cast iron skillet or other oven safe skillet and a few ingredients! 

Oven Roasted Mussels and Shrimp Paella

You can use live mussels or the precooked frozen mussels for this recipe, however the frozen precooked ones worked best for me.

For picture purposes I left the tails on the shrimp, but feel free to take them off when prepping. 

Quick Tip:

Rinsing the rice helps to remove the extra starch from the rice, which can lead to clumpy grains. But don’t rinse rice if you’re making risotto or rice pudding.
