Hello, everybody it has been very long time I'm away from
you guys I do apologize.
Today I’m going to show you how to cook Paella! Yeah Paella
is one of my favorite seafood recipes, although it is a Spanish recipe but it
is very famous recipe in north of Morocco.
Paella is a very rich dish made with a little bit of
everything that was on hand. Fresh seafood, saffron and earthy paprika are the
key ingredients in this traditional Spanish dish.
