Sofrito is just the mix of peppers and onions that you start with
Bomba rice is a special variety from Spain that absorbs large amount of water without getting all mushy on you
costra is when the water evaporates and the rice in the pan begins to for a crust...the crust is the costra.
pimenton is a sweet smoked Spanish paprika...a key ingredient in paella along with the saffron of course. Saffron....(this is your lucky day) is the most expensive spice on the planet that I know of...but a little goes a long way.
