Even if you’re a happy meat-eater like myself, you need to add the ingredients for this delicious paella to your shopping list. This shrimp paella dish is super simple but also pretty impressive if you’re cooking for a crowd. Even better, you can stick any leftovers in the fridge and avoid the dining hall for your next few lunches.
This recipe is quickly becoming one of my favorites because it’s simple, delicious, and healthy. There are a thousand different recipes for paella out there, but two ingredients in particular are essential to giving paella its signature flavor: saffron and Spanish or short-grain rice.
Ever hide a pill in a scoop of peanut butter to fool your dog into taking medicine? Well, this is kind of like that if you sneak a cup of brown rice into the mix. It makes the recipe a little bit healthier without losing any of the flavor (and believe me, it has loads of flavor).
