Excellent recipe, tastes great with a little red onion, kosher salt & cracked pepper!!!!! - 29 Sep 2008
Used different ingredients. The Paella came out great. I added a little bit of sugar to cut the bitter taste of the tomatoe juices. Overall, really good. Next time I wil add more seafood, i.e. Scallops, and/or clams. - 29 Sep 2008
