Spanish Paella

Cooked breaded calamari separate and put it on top like a garnish with wedges of lemon.

Very versatile dish! It can be sweet, spicy, bland (although I must say paella generally cannot be labeled as bland - it’s a very flavorful recipe). It’s just easy to make it fit your own palate’s preferences. Loved it!

Tasted great, but I got sick. I'm thinking one or more pieces of my seafood might have gone bad and I didn't catch it. Also, I didnt get the crispy layer, but I might have over filled it and had too thick a layer

I used finely chopped tinned tomatoes and left out the calarmari and mussels (added a little extra prawn and chicken) and it was delicious!

I used tomato coulis instead of tomatoes and made it with chicken thighs and shrimp. It was delicious and will definitely make it again

Seemed like we definitely needed more liquid to get to the right rice doneness, and in my cast iron pan, which was only 12”, we didn’t get enough of the crust on the bottom. I used a special Paella spice kit, as well. Overall, though, it was probably the best recipe I’ve ever had for Paella.

Always love a good Paella. This is a very classic recipe. No surprise there
