Paella

Our team was invited to a sweet couple's home for paella over the weekend. It is not very often that outsiders get invited into a Spaniard's home, so we were very excited!

This is Jose Luis making his very authentic Spanish paella. It was a process that took over two hours and was well worth the wait! This typical Spanish dish consists of meat, chicken, shrimp, mussels, rice, butter beans, peas, and whatever else you find in the fridge! The special ingredient that gives it it's unique flavor is saffron.
Above is the finished product. It was a work of art!
Below is David having a very large shrimp (king prawn) as a snack. Yes, those are the legs and the head you see there. I will never get used to my food staring at me. David didn't seem to mind.
