Pallea Loco (2)

[Butt Ugly Chuck]

Second try at this I hope I get the pics attached right this time.
And I spelled it wrong on the second try!

[FONT=&quot]Some Spanish friends gave us a paella pan a few years ago and we just never got around to using it. I stumbled across the pan yesterday while cleaning out the garage and decided it was time.

I've watched paellas being built, but usually had a beverage in hand and never paid too much attention. I decided to just wing it.

Each of my family members got to pick an ingredient. We settled on shrimp...

and the medley starts to look something like this.

I don't have proper fire pit to do this the "right" way, so just used my grill instead.

Close to finished product...

I did use some $affron, but apparently not enough to give the paella its traditional yellow hue


Paired it with some cheap swill...

... and am very happy with how it turned out! Even my boy who can be a picky eater and usually avoids seafood went back for thirds

If I use crab again, I'll try cooking it separately from the rice. Done the way I did it above, the whole dish has a pretty 'crabby' flavor - awesome if you like crab (which we do), but might be too fishy for some guests.

If you're ever in the inland northwest, gimme a holler we'll fire up the grill.

It sounds like Pie-ey-ah. It's a spanish dish and spelled as Paella.

FSU Steve is right, though. Where's the rice? It's a major ingredient in the dish.
