Seafood Paella

Instead of a Paella pan (haven't found one sized for a single serving ) you can use a cast iron skillet to get the same crusty brown rice. This recipe was inspired by the Chicken and Seafood Paella dish in Essentials of Mediterranean Cooking by Williams-Sonoma.

You can substitute diced tomatoes for tomato sauce and turmeric for saffron.
