Love it! Never had paella but really want to try it. I’ve been searching for recipes and I think yours is the one!
Thanks!

Jay – I actually found that recipe off a Spanish website. Authentic or not, I made do what the ingredients I had and was pretty happy with it. Thanks for the picture anyway.

Nice try, looks good…but it’s not really paella. It’s more like dry Jambalaya…real paella? http://www.espanolsinfronteras.com/im%C3%A1genes/CULE/Cultura%20Espa%C3%B1ola%20-%20Gastronom%C3%ADa%20-%20Paella%20Marinera.jpg

Sorry about the lack of replies to your comments! I commented but my site was all wacky the past week. It wouldn’t let me comment. So here goes again:

Chiara – Thanks for the tip with the wok! I know a couple of readers are are going to try that method.

Hummingbird – Thank you :)

Memoria – Thanks for the tip with the exclamation points. I will use them next time for another Spanish dish!

Carly – Lemme know how it goes! :)

Nora – Thank you!

Cedes – Ooooh it is a great potluck dish. Your coworkers would absolutely love it.

Wow, that really looks amazing. I can’t belive Paella can be that simple. I’ve never made it myself but that I know how easy it can be I’ll have to make it very soon. Thanks Candy!

In Spanish, you use both the inverted and upright exclamation marks. So, you could make the dish seem even more exciting with both marks :). That habañero seasoning looks interesting. Your paella looks great!

You’re back! Good to see you posting again…
I make paella in a completely different way, still without using a paella pan (unless I borrow it from my dad). I just use my large wok and cook Uncle Ben’s rice as if I was making risotto, slowly adding ladles of broth and letting the rice soak it up! Beautiful pictures as usual, by the way!

You’re welcome Socki! Anything to get on your good side…

April – Add more shrimps if you please. I prefer shrimps more than anything, and I might change the proportions next time for my own personal benefit…
