Paella with Shrimp, Chorizo, and Salsa Verde

  • I have tried several paella recipes, and this one is by far the best. It has a LOT of ingredients and is not super easy, but it's worth the effort. I would maybe wait to make this over the summer or on a weekend when you've got the time to spend on it. The kids actually liked this as well, but that was a bit of a shock to me because this is what I would deem a "stretch" recipe to try on them. It's perfect for a date night in or for guests too.
