Paella on the Grill

It's been awhile since we made a meal that took 2+ hours to prep, prepare, cook, etc. (I know you know this due to lack of food recipes on the blog...)

Anyway with our new outdoor grill, Ross has had the itch to make a grilled paella. It meant that I had to watch the girls for awhile, but it was worth it :)

The finished paella was beautiful with Scallops, Chicken, Shrimp, and Chorizo buried in rich saffron rice with peas and red bell peppers. I would post the recipe but Ross combined a couple from Cook's Illustrated to come up with this one.

I hope we can make it again soon!
