Of course paella isn't real paella unless it has lots of little beady eyes looking back at you. Which is exactly why I had never made paella before today, and never eaten it since it was prepared for me in Spain in 1992. However, this recipe (note: in my browser I had to scroll way down to see the recipe) was too easy to pass up.
No modification needed to keep it allergy-free, and it's so wonderfully spiced it is easy to forget that we are eating rice (again). I misread the recipe before shopping and purchased chicken breast instead of chicken or turkey sausage, but it turned out great.
I cooked the rice and grilled the shrimp and chicken at lunch time, then stuck them in the fridge for later. The sauce came together quickly; while it cooked I chopped the chicken. I dumped everything (rice, shrimp, chicken, sauce, frozen peas) in the crock pot on low while I ran some errands and had a hot meal waiting that everyone ate. Success!
