Step 1 of 5
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wide shallow pan. Add the prawn heads and parsley stalks and sizzle until pink, then mash with a potato masher. Add the sherry and 300ml water, season and simmer for 10 minutes, mashing the heads as they cook. Scatter in the mussels, cover and cook for 3–4 minutes until open. Strain the contents through a colander set over a bowl containing the saffron. Pick out the mussels and set aside. You need 700ml stock total — top up with water if needed.
