Add the hot stock to the pan and give it a good stir to distribute the rice evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Cook over a high heat for the first ⏱️ 10 minutes, then over a medium heat for ⏱️ 3 minutes, without stirring. Add the clams, prawns and langoustines, gently folding them through the rice and shaking the pan to flatten the paella. Let it cook for a further ⏱️ 4 minutes, without stirring, then let it rest off the heat for ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving.
