I'm not sure what went wrong, but my paella turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked the couscous.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover carrots, celery, and onions, and they worked perfectly in this paella.

This paella was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed the shrimp and mussels in this paella. They were cooked perfectly and added a nice briny flavor to the dish.

I love that this recipe uses couscous instead of rice. It gives the paella a lighter and more delicate texture.
