Paella


I didn't make this paella the traditional way since I left out peas, bell peppers, and chorizo, but I made it with all the things I love.  I started with the rice, I used Jasmine, which I love, and added saffron to the boiling water.  Then I sauteed an onion in olive oil, once it was done, I added tomatoes and cooked them for a couple minutes.  Then I added the rice and a little bit of chicken stock.  I then added the raw shrimp on top of the rice and put the lid on the pot and let them steam.  It was great.  Traditionally, you add the bell peppers with the onion, and add the chorizo before the shrimp, and add the peas last right before it's done.  You can also add mussels or squid with the shrimp.
