1/2 kilo small squids
1 kilo of alimango or alimasag (crabs)

lobsters
fish fillet (optional)

10 to 12 cups of fish stock

salt to taste
MSG

For aioli or garlic mayonnaise:
1 cup of mayonnaise
chopped garlic
lemon/calamansi juice
corn oil/olive oil
salt to taste

Procedures:

1 Chop onions and julienne capsicum. Devein and peel prawns, squids, alimasag (crabs), clams, and lobsters.

2 Dilute the squid ink: In a small saucepan, place a half cup of the fish broth and add bottled squid ink. Set aside.

3 On a heated grill, place the paellera or wok, add olive oil, sauté the onions,and add Arborio rice. Add the diluted squid ink and mix rapidly until the rice is coated. Add fish broth and stir. Adjust the ink at this point if you think you want it blacker. Distribute the rice evenly on the pan and stop stirring. Add salt to taste. Add the crab pieces then five minutes later add the squid, shrimp, clams, and the rest of the seafoods. Add sliced peppers on top of the paella. Cover and let simmer for 23 to 25 minutes.
