Seafood paella is a high-purine dish due to shellfish, which can significantly raise uric acid and trigger gout flares.
Good
The rice and vegetables in paella are low in purines and safe; occasional small portions may be acceptable for well-controlled gout.
Bad
Shellfish ingredients like shrimp, mussels, and clams are very high in purines, especially hypoxanthine. White wine or beer often paired with the dish further increases gout risk.
