    Love it! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
    I purchase a 5-gram jar of Spanish Saffron from Costco on line for $22. Saffron needs to be soak in liquid minimum of 2 hrs.
    I substitute a few ingredients, I used chicken tights w the bones instead of chicken breast, peas instead of celery, lobster instead of crabs, 2 cups of rice instead of one, 1/2 pd of shrimp instead of 1 pd. (I did not peeled and de-veined
    I season the chicken w a little of oil, s&p, brown the chicken and set aside, I cooked the rice for 15 minutes, add the chicken and let it cook for 5 min. then added all the seafood and let it cooked for additional 10 min.

    I made this dish and it was awesome!!!....the only thing i change was the saffron...because it can become pretty expensive if you want to make this dish often...I used ACHIOTE (Bixa orellana, it's available in every spanish store and very cheap...It gives pretty much the same flavor and the color its amazing!!!!
    but CAREFUL Achiote can be very strong.....don't use too much... just a table spoon of raw achiote will work for 1 pound of rice....

    Ps: to get the color and flavor out o the seeds(if you don't find it in paste with the oil you'll use for the rice...tossed up in a pan, drain and continue cooking as indicated on the recipe.....
