This dish could take a bit longer to cook. *Sodium/fat content will be more than listed as I could not find "olive or artichoke juice" anywhere! :-)**If you want to add shrimp to the dish... When the paella is done add the shrimp on top of the rice, cover, then turn the oven off and let steam inside the oven for 10 minutes. They come out tender and perfect every time using this method.Top with fresh sliced avocado and lemon wedges before serving.ENJOY!!Submitted by:E. BourneFort Worth, TXServing Size:?Serves 8
