Add the chopped red bell pepper and continue cooking for 5 more minutes.

Mix in the tomato puree and the stock cube. Then stir in the rice until fully incorporated - about 2-3 minutes.

Uncover, reduce the heat to an active simmer, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring from the outside in and then smoothing it out. Add a little more water if needed.

Mix in the shrimp and frozen peas. Then put the lid back on and continue cooking for 5 more minutes. The dish is ready when all the ingredients are warmed through.

Remove the paella from the heat. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

Garnish with chopped parsley and nestle the lemon wedges on top of the paella for squeezing.
