Recipe Notes
This recipe if you want to make it more special than you can use cooking broth for Paella. You use one container of chicken broth or you add saffron because this is included in the paella broth.
I use short grain rice for this recipe but you can also use long grain rice made for this paella recipe. Or you can buy this rice then you find it on Amazon.
You can use saffron opposite seasoning because if you do not find saffron then you use a seasoning mix that is easy to buy in any grocery store.
You can use some mussels if you want after the shrimp.
I use this recipe for a 14-15 inch larger skillet but you also can use paella pan because it is depending on the configuration of your burners so you will have to move and rotate the pan to distribute the heat.
