    @ Richard FL-great work-I know you are a big paella chef...any insights beyond the great tutorial from TNW's site?  I've made it around 4-5 times and always have enjoyed the outcome, just curious.

    @Richard FL-thanks for the links-will do my homework.  Wish my SWMBO enjoyed seafood cuz that recipe looks great.  I know it will turn out most tasty. You must be cooking on the XL (big paella pan) for all those ingredients. Thanks again!

    One was done on XLRG with a 24" pan and the others are done on a large with a 16" pan.  Just reduce the amount of ingredients  2 cups uncooked rice is plenty for the 16".

    Go for it.  They are fun party dishes.  6-10 folks is not uncommon around here.
