I could live on Paella. I have always had seafood paella in restaurants and didn't realize there were different slants on this - was told that paella is 'fisherman's stew'. Can someone point me at some good recipes - seafood, chicken, sausage ??? can you do this in a crockpot ? I am not much of a cook - simple is good, but I can follow directions.
Thank You in advance.
This recipe gives a great start to making an authentic paella for my money and think. The only change I'd make would be to saute the smoked paprika in olive oil at the start for a full sensory effect:

Oh and as much as I love my slow cooker it's not the right tool for a paella cuz you'll miss the crusty rice bits at the end.
PS - I make my paella in either a CI 12" skillet or wok w/ great success; no need to buy a paella pan unless you want to.
