Shrimp & Broccoli Brown Rice Paella image

Years ago my husband and I were vacationing in France and came across an open market where a man from Spain was making paella in a skillet; we've been hooked ever since. I love to whip this up for a large group, but if the gathering is small, I know I can easily freeze leftovers for another time. -Joni Hilton, Rocklin, California

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my paella turned out really mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This paella was a bit too expensive to make on a regular basis, but it was definitely worth it for a special occasion.
