We really enjoyed this paella dish last night. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that it was polished off by three of us (versus 6). Had to make a few modifications due to lack of some ingredients. First, I had no vegetable soup mix so instead I used one cup of vegetable stock in lieu of one of the cups of chicken broth to give it that vegetable flavor. Also, I only had half of a pound of shrimp so I supplemented calamari for the other 1/2 lb. My shrimp was uncooked, so we sauteed it after the garlic and onion step. We used arborio rice instead of long-grain. We also added a pinch of saffron. I think I would make it again with my modifications next time as we all really loved it. Thanks! Made for ZWT5.

This recipe was very good and it made it ton! My family really enjoyed it. The only thing i would change it to up the spice in the dish but other than that it was great and looked so pretty bursting with green peas.
