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

This paella is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have a bag of rice in my freezer, so this is a quick and easy meal to throw together.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I used chicken instead of shrimp. It was still delicious!

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the shrimp with tofu. It turned out great!

The rice was a bit mushy, but the shrimp and broccoli were cooked perfectly.

This paella was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this paella. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the broccoli was still slightly crunchy. The brown rice added a nice nutty flavor.

This paella was a hit with my family! The combination of shrimp, broccoli, and brown rice was delicious, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. I especially loved the crispy texture of the rice.
