Fast Seafood Paella Recipe.
The Paella is a one pot dish that is originally from Spain. The conquest in the 1500’s brought it to the America’s and its popularity keeps growing continually. While it might seem cumbersome to make the traditional way, we have our own way of cooking Paella that makes it better simply because we get to eat it in way fewer hours than it would take my grandmother :-).

A Paella Parenthesis
It is a joy to be able to quickly cook a one-pot paella meal for my family. For many, saying paella is synonymous with seafood. Nevertheless, most paellas include chicken or rabbit in the mix. I do like mine exclusively made with seafood.
Cool mom tip: giving heat to the paella adds an incredible dimension to the dish. Use pepper flakes to the mix 2 minutes before serving so the flakes release the oils and aromas throughout.
Pairing Paella
We serve this one-pot dish on its own. No side dishes necessary which saves on cooking time. Perhaps some toasted bread with ali oli would be the only thing to offer on the table. As for drinks, Sangria is a common choice, but we prefer a cool Albarino in the Spring and Summer and a Merlo in the winter and fall months. For the kids, blackberry and pear juice pair up nicely.
Will your Paella include chicken or rabbit? Or will you stick to my Fast Seafood Paella Recipe?

I absolutely adore seafood and am a pescatarian. I have added this recipe to my BigOven account and plan on cooking it next week
You know this is quite interesting. We make what we call pelau the way you make your paella . The one difference is that we use chicken or beef instead of seafood. also where you add red wine we add coconut milk or olive oil.
Oh my goodness! This looks seriously so amazing and delicious!
This dish looks so amazing! I’ve never actually had a seafood paella but I wouldn’t mind giving it a try especially if it looks like this!
