Super easy dish to make and it tasted amazing, the saffron is a really great combination with the seafood and the sausage. Easily one of the best dishes I've ever had.

New 18" wok

Chicken

Olive oil in the wok

Chicken in the wok

1 chopped onion, garlic cloves, and the recipe said to use chorizo but we decided to go with hot Italian sausage

Move the chicken to the side and cook the onion, garlic, and ausages until it juices up

Mix in the chicken once more

Add 2.25 cups of rice and let it soak up the juice. Stir it around for about a minute or two

Time to use the saffron, this stuff is not cheap

Just a pinch should do it

Mix in the saffron, 6 cups of chicken stock and 3/4 cup of chopped up san Marzano tomatoes. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Let cook for 15 minutes.

The seafood we used: the scallops were awesome

Some fresh, unpeeled, gulf shrimp

Clams

Lobster tail

Easier to eat when you cut it in half

Parsley

After 15 minutes the rice absorbs the stock and takes on a very nice yellow color from the saffron.

Arrange your seafood, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes

Voila!

Add in the parsley, stir it up on high heat to let the rice brown a bit. Remove from heat and serve

Spanish Seafood Paella

Whenever I make jambalaya or gumbo and it asks for Italian or Andouille sause, I use chorizo. Were like opposite twinzies!

I need to see much more toasty brown color on that rice, that's best part. Bet it is still delicious.

My mom subs Saffron with equal amount of turmeric. Not sure if it would screw with the flavors though

Turmeric actually has more vitamins and stuff, but a bit lemony of a flavor
