Loved it!! Unlike other reviewers, we found it to have lots of flavor ...perfect! We love olives, so we doubled up on them with a nice mix.

One wonders why people complain about a recipe when they omit or change around the most flavorful ingredients. If a recipe uses a lot of olives and you hate olives, find another recipe -- or else make it the way it says to, and find out that if you eat olives chopped fine as a part of a recipe, you just might find it's actually quite good.

Honestly i think this dish could be a winner. Problem with following recipes is you should have cooking knowlegde. What i mean by that is how can you add flavor to the dish? Well instead of cooking your rice in plain water, cook it in chickenstock so it takes up more taste. season the steak with paprika powder and rub it with some garlic. Then while cooking the vegetables add salt en peper en some garlic even maybe extra onions to make everyone tastefull. may its better to bake the shrimp in pan with seasoning and then add it to the rice. Copying a recipe will in most cases never work its better to add your own touch.

Good base, agree with other reviewer about being very bland. No oomph at all. I did not add the steak, did shrimp only, and didn't add olives (don't like them, after spending so much money on shrimp and saffron, I was hoping for something very flavorful. Instead, I wondered why I even bothered w/ the saffron..for the color? Who cares? It was very easy to execute though, but it needs way more flavor added to it.

I just made this tonight with just a few changes and it was fantastic!!! I omitted the olives completely because I hate olives. And also... at over $200 an ounce... saffron was just way too expensive for me to consider this recipe. So, since the trinity was almost complete anyway, I decided that celery would be a good addition. I chopped two stalks of celery and added about 1 1/2 tsp of celery salt to the dish. And then I threw in some cajun spices to bring the hotness up a bit. It came out great the very first time and I will definitely be making this again! Maybe add a bit more steak next time.

Very excellent taste! The easiest Paella I've ever made. We made two nights ago and enjoyed it a lot! My husband is a lover of spicy food so we did discuss adding some jalapenos or some other pepper next time...just for a little kick. Excellent recipe and will be making it again.

Good but very bland. Found myself adding garlic salt, but it needed some zip. Maybe hot chilis cooked along with the onions and peppers?? Anyone have a suggestion? A well written recipe and very executable. Would cook the onions and peppers less, so they aren't so soft. I substituted edamame for the peas and really liked it. Bought pre-cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp and it took a little longer than 3 minutes to heat through - guess it depends on the size of the shrimp you get. The steak turned out perfectly - if you are okay with medium-rare. It seemed out of place in the recipe to me - didn't add any flavor and seemed odd to have a strip of steak in the midst of this. Will use only shrimp next time. Chicken would be good though too.

Quick, easy and very flavorful! I don't know why there aren't more reviews, but if you follow the recipe it turns out really well.

I made this for my husband and he loved it. I was not sure if I would like it, but it was very good. Super easy to make too!!
