About Recipe

As we all know paella is the most famous dish hailing from Spain, with Paella Valenciana being the most popular, the original paella that is made with chicken and rabbit. In this recipe I´m going to show you how to make a Spanish Paella with Tuna & Shrimp. This paella is simply stunning, it offers amazing Spanish flavors and is super easy to make. Very similar to a Seafood Paella, except it has less ingredients, making much cheaper to make and a lot easier.
