When making the paella, use a wide and shallow pan so that the rice can spread out evenly and cook properly.
Do not stir the paella too much while it is cooking, as this can break up the rice and make it mushy.
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the paella with a wedge of lemon and a glass of cold white wine.
