I love the blend of flavors in this dish. This is a hearty one dish meal. The secret spice is the Saffron. Saffron is expensive, but you must add it or the taste of authentic Paella is lost.

This Portuguese paella was a bit of a disappointment. The flavors were bland and the seafood was overcooked. I think I'll stick to my regular paella recipe next time.
