If I want to use this recipe but add shrimp, what should i do?
Hi Angel,
shrimp usually do not need to cook as long as other kinds of seafood. It might be best to add them approx 5-10 minutes before the paella is done (this will depend on the size of the shrimp). Basically I would wait until half of the water is absorbed, that should be after some 5-10 minutes. Now add the shrimp on top and close the pan.
