I topped my paella with a dollop of sour cream, and it was amazing! The sour cream added a creamy richness that balanced out the spicy flavors of the paella.

This paella is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some leftover jasmine rice, and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I made this paella in my Instant Pot, and it turned out perfectly! The rice was cooked evenly, and the seafood and chicken were tender and juicy.

I didn't have any saffron, so I used turmeric instead. The paella still turned out great, but it didn't have the same vibrant color.

The rice in my paella turned out a bit mushy. I think I added too much liquid. Other than that, the dish was delicious.

This paella was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.
