South African Seafood Paella Pot Recipe

I love everything about this dish and the South African twist that we have added to it. This dish is easy to prepare and light on the budget. 

You can add to your seafood pot whatever is fresh and available and make it as indulgent as you wish, and it is a real crowd pleaser! Bonus: the combination of olive oil and butter ensures that it stays at a spreadable consistency and will keep for months.
