Convey to a boil, then scale back the warmth to low. Permit to simmer uncovered with out stirring till many of the liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.
3. Organize the shrimp and clams on prime of the paella, then press them a bit into the rice and liquid. Add the peas, zucchini, and kale, then loosely cowl with a lid or foil and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or till the clams have opened and the shrimp has turned pink.
