Traditional paella is named after the large,shallow,two-handled pan in which it is prepared and served. To lighten up on the salt,this newer alternative replaces chorizo sausage with breakfast sausage.
Shrimp is at its best when freshly cooked and can quickly lose tenderness if overcooked. Added at the last step of this recipe,it is cooked until pink and opaque throughout (no longer translucent) and then ideally served right away!
