I really enjoyed this paella and especially appreciated how well the recipe is written. I usually rush through recipes because there is so much measuring and chopping involved, but I was easily able to keep up the pace and move between steps without overcooking anything. Also, I loved the suggestion to rub the saffron threads with a little salt. It made the saffron spread a lot more easily.

My family loves this recipe. Of course I had to change a couple things and use what I had on hand. I added green onions, corn, spinach and green chiles and a couple jalapenos instead of peppers.

This was really good and I'll make it again. It was lacking a little flavor just after I finished it. However, this is definitely a "better the next day" dish. It was great the second time around. I wasn't willing to spend the $ on saffron so used a little tumeric and cumin, as others suggested. I also used a cup of prepackaged saffron rice and a cup of jasmine rice. I found 32oz of chicken stock to be just fine. Be sure to use chicken stock, not broth. It's much more flavorful.

It is an awesome dish. I 'fished' it up a little by adding some sardines! It is also nice to sautee the shrimps in some olive oil with garlic. The italian parsely is essential, so it the lemon zest. The red bell pepper should still be crispy. Some black olives compliment it all, make it real spanish. The name Easy Paella is not completely true, it takes some work to put it together, but is it worth it. Put some italian parsely, shrimps, lemon slices and olives on top, to make it look real good!

despite the long list of ingredients this is pretty easy. i would add another cup of rice and quadruple the garlic and add more peppers to make it hotter. more rice to match the amount of meat it is immense! i fed 7 people with this. guys. and we had leftovers. i used mexican saffron. spanish saffron is too expensive. i added some red chili powder to the meat(i love it spicy). more salt and pepper. all the meats together tasted wonderful. everybody loved it. this one is in my recipe box and in rotation.

It was quick and easy. The next time I make it, I will use 1/2 tsp. of pepper flakes as oppose to the 1 tsp. recommended. Will make again for sure.

By far, my favorite recipe to date!!! There was a lot of prepwork, but the final product was well worth it!

This was really good! My husband and I couldn't get enough of it! The kids enjoyed this dish as well. I followed the recipe exactly except I skipped the lemon zest (didn't have any) and used green instead of red bell pepper because that is what I had on hand. Would definitely make this again, perhaps experimenting more next time.

I thought this was just ok. My husband hated it, but he's not a big fan of shrimp. I picked his out, but it still had the shrimp flavor. It probably would have been better without the lemon and it also needed more chicken stock for the rice to cook thoroughly. This recipe has many great reviews, so maybe paella is not for us. :0)

I am my family's new hero. This recpipe was so authentic! Use double the garlic. Use any type of parsley. Substitute saffron with turmeric. I am so impressed!

Considering I didn't even have a paella pan... this turned out really well! That little bit of lemon zest made a big difference and gave a nice kick of flavor to it. Will make again!

Very easy to make - this is the first dish I've cooked! Really delicious, The only thing we did differently was to cut this down for two people. It didnt stay on the plates very long!

Really easy to make. And it tastes fabulous! Thanks.

The family loved it, first time rice was too spicy for the kids so 2nd time cut the pepper flakes in 1/2, saffron wow don't try yo find that in Reno what a joke. It was good with out it, don't buy the cheep Chorizo buy the one you have to cut. I would make this agian and agian.....

Yummy! We loved it. I used turkey keilbasa, 1/2 the chicken, 1/2 the shrimp and arborio rice and it was wonderful. Thank you for the recipe.

This is so good! I used only 1LB of chicken thighs and added some smoked sausage, peas, and turmeric as well....will be making again for sure.

I was always intimidated to make paella, but this recipe made it so easy. My boyfriend absolutely loved it! This one is a keeper!
