Spanish Rice and Shrimp image

I created this recipe to replicate paella for a crowd. I love paella, but it's expensive and not everyone likes the mussels and sausage in it. Serve this dish with a good Spanish wine and some bread and oil and it will be a sure crowd-pleaser!

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used frozen shrimp and it still turned out great.
