I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the seafood and meat from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I substituted shrimp and scallops for the mussels and clams. It turned out great!

This recipe was way too complicated for me. I ended up giving up and ordering takeout.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my paella turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much rice.

The rice was a little undercooked for my taste, but overall this was a good recipe.

This paella was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that was because I used a store-bought seafood stock. Next time I'll make my own stock.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I'm so glad I did. The seafood was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing.
