Very tasty. Used crab claw meat instead of lobster. Also used basmati rice that I precooked and added last. For the lobster water I used organic tomato basil soup. Hubby loved this.

Good taste but only because of my master skills...lol. Directions are kinda vague. People try to tell too much of a story instead of just laying out the directions! Small example...water used to boil lobster. How much you use is left to you because no suggestions are made. I think I ended up using 2 cups, didn’t want a “soupy” dish.

Well is a good rice recipe and has nothing to do with a paella but the rice and the saffron.

I’ll let you know once I taste it smells amazing looks delicious. I didn’t have lobster so I used other seafood and I had some frozen crab shells from a month ago and I boiled that and made stock out of it that’s what I used instead

I will make this again. It was very good. I did make some adjustments because saffron is so expensive. I bought a boxed Spanish rice and then added the recipes ingredients, I sautéed onions and then added garlic to soften it. I precooked green beans. I added extra seasoning.

Very good, I used crab instead of lobster, since it was crab season

It was amazing. I fried the prawns and diced lobster on butter and mixed with salt and pepper. I used the sauce from that as well. Very yummy!!

Found the recipe a bit confusing at times, but spice combinations were spectacular works well when serving with grilled salmon fillets. Might make again…

Excellent!! Served at dinner party with rave reviews. Very easy to prepare; I used paella rice & substituted a quality seafood flavored base with shrimp, mussels & squid, omitting lobster ordeal. Leftovers were fantastic too!

I followed the recipe exactly as far as cooking times and amount of water and...it was not good. The rice was mushy, yet crunchy? The green beans were overcooked. Flavors were only ok. We salvaged the expensive shrimp I used and tossed the rest out.

I have made this recipe twice now and neither time did I have a problem with the onions causing the rice to become 'mushy. I did add extra shrimp and substituted boneless chicken thighs for the lobster and it was FANTASTIC! And Jaime L...paella has many different ingredients depending on where that particular recipe came from.. While basically the same, Spanish paella has some different ingredients than Italian paella.

This is absolutely shameful. Onions make rice mushy, and you should never add them to a paella. The other ingredients are not found in a traditional paella either, but the onions just got me. Horrible, just horrible.
