Delicious Mixed Paella with Chicken, Shrimp, and Mushrooms

This recipe is from a friend, but since I didn’t have cuttlefish, I added shrimp instead. I also had some mushrooms left over from another day, so I used those too.
I never got to try her paella because she didn’t send me any… some friend, right? But mine turned out really good. I’m not sure if it can officially be called paella—what do you think, Valencians?

Steps
- 1
Chop the onion, green bell pepper, olives, and chicken if not already chopped.
- 2
Sauté the onion and green bell pepper. Add a pinch of salt to help them soften faster (my mom’s trick—I’m not sure if it’s true, but I always do it).
- 3
Add the mushrooms, olives, and shrimp, and let them brown.
- 4
Add the rice and food coloring. Stir to combine.
- 5
Pour in the paella broth and keep an eye on it—don’t walk away to play video games with your kid or the rice might stick!
- 6
Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed. While it cooks, you can check out my other recipes.
- 7
Taste for salt and adjust if needed. Serve the paella on your best plate, top with the hard-boiled egg, and snap a photo to show off your cooking skills.
