  1. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan, then cook the onion and garlic over a medium heat for 5 mins until soft. Add the paprika, tomatoes and stock, then bring to the boil.

  2. Turn down the heat to a simmer, stir in the pasta and cook for 7 mins, stirring occasionally to stop the pasta from sticking. Stir in the seafood, cook for 3 mins more until it’s all heated through and the pasta is cooked, then season to taste. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Really liked this recipe and super easy to boot. Didn't have any chicken stock in so just used vege instead - a little less as the liquid seemed too much when looking at it. Added some chili to the sauce and despite the other comments did it all in one pan and it turned out just fine. Really yummy.

Made this last night just using king prawns, the only paprika I had was the smoked type and with a small glass of fino sherry and a good pinch of saffron it was really tasty ! I was a bit worried that the sauce wouldn't thicken but it worked very well and we all enjoyed it

Loved this, it does need a bigger bag of seafood though, and although it's fine as it is, I did it again with saffron, chilli flakes and a bit of white wine and it took it to a whole new level. It's a very quick and easy meal for mid week, definitely a regular.

Have made this a few times now, it's a good quick and easy mid-week dish. Made sauce separately though and Used just prawns the second time as kids didn't like the seafood taste which was just as good. Used double the paprika and added mushrooms too.

Very nice recipe. I made this for my wife and I last night and it seemed to go down well. I did cook the spaghetti in the sauce and to be honest I think it helped as I find seafood based pastas usually too runny otherwise. It seemed to thicken well by adding the pasta to the sauce. Also added fresh sliced scallops and king prawns. Plush anchovies and capers in my portion. To get the consistency right I added part of the stock, then the spaghetti and topped up with stock while cooking as required. Also used Knorr fish stock cube instead of chicken stock.

This was very yummy. I did however have to add a bit more water and cook the pasta for longer than recipe says to make it al dente and not raw (the spaghetti packet said it needed 13 mins so 7 mins was never going to be long enough). My son's girlfriend ate it with gusto too and she's never been brave enough to try seafood before!

I liked the receipe but could not read the amount of stock that you should add. Can you please confirm. It looked liked 1 litre which seemed a lot.
