  We enjoyed it. I would use more spice next time but Husband and Son thought it was great as it was. Cheated and put it all in the microwave as I cook my risottos there as well. Used shelled prawns.

  This was nice but myself and my husband both felt there was something 'missing', despite using more spice as other comments suggested. Unfortunately, we still can't decide what the missing this is! Tasty though and would make again, maybe just using some different ingrediants next time.

  'Maxismummy' I think adding chorizo would help, it'll give it more meatiness and spice in one go! Hope that helps. Let me know what you think.

  i'd never even eaten paella before, let alone cooked it but decided to try this when my boyfriend requested prawns for dinner. i was really disappointed and i definitely wouldn't make it again. my partner managed to eat it, but i don't know if he was just being polite. i think he just enjoyed taking the shells off the prawns...
