Paella!

I’ve been itching for paella. I whipped up a simple paella with Spanish chorizo and some frozen shrimp.
Getting the hearth ready.
I’ve got everything cut up.
Cook the protein.
Next I cooked the soffrito. Then added the rice and stock (with saffron).
Now you just have to let things get happy.
Check for the soccarat and pull the paella when it’s ready.
Cover with a towel for 5-10minutes. Then garnish and serve.
This did not disappoint. Cheers! Life is good my friends.

@Mattman3969 Believe it or not, I think it’s easier to control the cook with a wood fire. The secret is to use small pieces of wood. They flame quickly and then die off - you have to tend the fire but you have good control.Coleman, Texas
