Chicken Thighs and Shrimp Paella Recipe is brought to you by Fred Meyer– Save time, money & gas.
La Paella is a traditional dish from Spain.
Easy Shrimp Paella is super easy to make and it’s infused with the most delicious flavorful taste.
The king ingredient for Easy Paella Recipe is saffron. It is one of the most rare & expensive seasonings, which usually cost around $20 for 0.03oz.
I noticed that my local Fred Meyer store sometimes has sale on seasonings and sometimes you can buy saffron for just $7.99. Saffron adds a rich flavor to Paella Dish.
This Chicken Shrimp Paella Recipe is made of amazing ingredients like saffron, homemade chicken broth, chicken thighs, shrimp, peas, garlic, tomato, onion, paella rice, and garnished with fresh parsley.
Doesn’t it sounds amazing already?!?
Perfect dinner idea in just under 1 hour. Have you ever tried Spanish Paella?
