Delicious. Followed the recipe. Am in love and will make whenever I have the ingredients on hand.

my family loved this

This recipe is amazing! It's great with all of the meats, but leaving out the chicken and doubling the shrimp makes it perfect!!!

This makes a HUGE amount of paella! My boyfriend and I tried to polish it off ourselves over the course of a few nights, but ended up bringing in reinforcements (in the form of his roommate)! Next time, we'll halve the recipe. Not entirely authentic, from what I know, but good enough.

This was very easy and so delicious

Paella is one of my husband's favorite dishes at restaurants, I made this for him as a surprise but worried it wouldn't be good enough. He loved it! It is time consuming but not difficult. It looks impressive and would be great for a dinner party. I was hesitant to buy saffron threads for $17 but you use so little and I could make this recipe at least 8 more times with the same bottle. I had trouble getting the rice to cook. I slowly kept adding more broth until it absorbed and got softer. This recipe is a keeper!

Went down a treat with the gang at work

Awesome. Had fun making paella for the first time, and it turned out fantastic!

My husband and I loved it! I thought the rice was a little spicy, but still yumm.

My son made this dish as a course assignment in his high school Spanish class. It took about two hours to make, teaching the novice cook how to prep food. Overall, this is a 5-star recipe for flavor and texture. The delicate blend of lemon zest with the bite of red pepper, the hint of saffron, and the savory flavor of garlic, with a little parsley kick, stir fried in olive oil made the rice the best part of the dish. We discovered that the best meat in the mix was the shrimp. He used the small salad shrimp, rather than raw shrimp with the tails on, and this worked out perfectly, by adding the shrimp in at the very end so as not to overcook them. The chorizo had flavor of its own with more of a dusky taste which was slightly overwhelming to the delicate flavor of the rest of the dish. He thought that the next time the meats should be a mix of scallops and shrimp. He cooked the chorizo separately to cut back on some of the fat in the dish. It was wise to rinse the chorizo, not only to decrease the fat but particularly in light of its strong flavor. We were a little surprised that the recipe called for 2" pieces of chicken. The chicken could have been cut a little smaller for more flavor from the rub. We were initially surprised that this dish was for 8 servings, but after the explosion of flavor, it was about right. We all cleaned our bowls! It was so good we are still savoring the lingering flavor from the meal. Very filling. He did a fantastic job.
