Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced bell pepper and chopped tomato; cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly toasted.

Pour in white wine and let it evaporate, stirring occasionally.

Add fish stock, lime juice, paprika, cumin, bay leaves, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add mixed seafood, peas, and corn; stir gently.

Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro before serving.
