Prepare a paella pan, put olive oil, and heat it. Fry nyora (Spanish red round pepper) for a while. Take it out into mortar and pestle with a bit of salt and mash it. In the continuation, fry red pepper (cut previously into 6 strips) and shrimps. Once ready, take them out and reserve them for the garnish.
