I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my paella turned out a bit bland. I think I might have added too much water.

The rice in this paella was a bit undercooked for my taste, but overall the dish was still very good.

This paella was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy chorizo. Next time, I'll use a milder sausage.

This paella was a great way to use up leftover seafood. I had some shrimp, mussels, and calamari in my fridge, and they all worked perfectly in this dish.
