Method
Put the stock into a saucepan with 2tsp of garlic paste and star anise and heat. Heat the oil in a large paella or risotto pan and cook the onion, gently, for 5-8 minutes until softened then add the remaining garlic, the smoked paprika, cayenne and saffron. Stir in the rice so it becomes well coated in spices.
Pour the warm stock into the pan, stir and bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and parsley. Lay the fish and prawns on top and cover tightly with foil.
Cook for 5 minutes then add the contents of the mussels pack and the frozen peas, stirring gently so not to break up the fish. Cover again with the foil and cook for 3-4 minutes until the seafood is all cooked.
