This was a tasty diversion from the usual rice and --- dish. I happened to have turkey kielbasa in the freezer, and just bought some sizeable shrimp. It all went well together, but I suggest you taste the final mixture BEFORE adding salt. Not sure which ingredient made the difference, but would make this again, being MOST careful of adding seasoning. Thanks, prattmama, for a twist on saffron rice with -- ! Janey
