Being Portuguese and living right across the border of Spain I make Paella quit often. This is a lovely receipe you have here, I gave yours a try, followed your direction and made it exactly as posted. It was very good, you can however play around a little with this receipe, I usually like to add in some shrimp(for me thats a must) fresh clams ( save some for decoration) and chicken legs. I usually like to garnish with shrimp and the clams, and the spanish ALWAYS use grilled red peppers to garnish looks fabulous. I learned this with a spanish friend of mine. Thats the advantage of living here. LOL..LOL
