On top of the stove, add tomato and rice. Stir gently and add stock and shrimp. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, over medium high heat for 20 minutes. If paella pan is being used, at this point put it on lower shelf of a 400F oven for 20 minutes, uncovered. Add peas, lobster meat, and carefully blend into paella. Decorate top with lobster claws, mussels or clams, which have been steamed in a little seasonsed water until their shells have opened, and pimento strips.

Simmer casserole for 5 minutes and serve from the casserole, or return paella pan to the oven for 5 minutes more. (wrv)
