Place the saffron and paprika in a cup, cover with ¼ cup of boiling water and set aside to dissolve.
Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and sugar and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the rice, stock and saffron liquid and stir well to combine. Simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes.
Add the prawns, mussels and thyme to the rice mixture. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and cook for 5 minutes or until the mussels have opened and the prawns have changed colour and are cooked. Discard any mussels that haven’t opened after 5 minutes.
Season the paella with pepper and divide between two plates. Serve with the lemon wedges and green salad.
