Prepare a paella pan, put olive oil and heat it. Fry nyora (Spanish red round pepper) for a while. Take it out into mortar and pestle with a bit of salt and mash it. In the continuation, fry red pepper (cut previously into 6 strips) and shrimps. Once ready, take them out and reserve for the garnish. Thereafter, fry chicken meat and clean anglerfish together with minced garlic and grated tomato. Once the meat is tender, add paella rice and fry for a while.
