Paella
A plate of “national standard” paella must be supplemented with fresh shrimp, Spanish sausage, mussels, white fish and clams, etc. cooked with rice, and saffron seasoning and color are the key, so that the rice can be bleach and dyed bright gold. Every grain of rice is like a small vault, which makes people want to give up its smooth, hard and powerful taste. The main ingredients of paella are long-stemmed rice and saffron, as long as these two are guaranteed, other ingredients can be added or decreased according to your own taste. I didn’t put the legendary Spanish sausage and chicken, there is a lot of seafood, and the taste is really good
