Spanish paella

Overview

This is my first time learning how to make Spanish paella at home. I bought most of the ingredients online, but I still don’t have all the ingredients! I found that there must be a lot of seafood in the rice! It will be enjoyable to eat this way! The most important thing about this rice is Saffron. Saffron has a very special aroma and will dye the rice into a beautiful golden color. Although it is expensive, it is indispensable!
