Good to Know

The amounts are approximate except for the rice and stock. For the 2 cups of rice/quart chicken stock we used 3 andouille sausages. one package of chicken tenders (costco) 2 package cod (costco) 1/2 pound of shrimp (peeled).

You can use any type of vegetables that you want. Carrots would have added a nice sweetness. Becareful to not burn the garlic. If you want, add the garlic when you add the rice.

This makes a lot of paella, 1 cup rice/2 cups stock would probably be enough for 3 people.

To make it less spicy, you could use a milder sausage than andouille, as that is pretty spicy in my opinion. Everything
