Wash and scrub the mussels and clams. Discard any damaged shellfish and drain the rest in a sieve. Heat the white wine in a pan, add the shellfish, cover and cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally. Drain in a sieve, but catch the wine. Take the mussels out of their shells, but leave the clams in their shells. Throw away any mussels or clams that have not opened.

Take out and fill theh cazuela with layers of fish alternating with layers of squid rings and shellfish. Place the prawns on top.

Put the onion into the pan and fry over a medium heat in the oil left in the pan for 2-3 minutes, stirring. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, rosemary and chopped garlic and fry for 2 minutes, then strain the wine through a fine sieve and add to the pan. Add the fish stock and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, until reduced. Season well with salt, saffron and cayenne pepper then pour over the fish and seafood in the cazuela so that everything is just covered. Add a little water if necessary. Bring to the boil, then cover and cook gently over a low heat for 10-15 minutes.
