Method

Preheat a griddle pan over a high heat. Put the seafood in a bowl and toss with half the oil. Cook the seafood, in batches, for 2-3 minutes each side until charred. Remove from the pan, cut the squid into rings and set aside with the prawns.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan or paella pan over a medium heat. Cook the chorizo for 3-4 minutes until browned. Stir in the paprika and cayenne, cook for 30 seconds, then add the tomatoes and 100ml water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until thickened.
Stir in the rice and peppers, cook for 3 minutes until heated through, then add the seafood. Sprinkle with the parsley to serve.
