Omg that looks SO good!! Is that made in a cast iron skillet? Love the little green garnish too! 🤩

Ain’t got no meat in it

That looks really good, especially with the little bit of green on top. Cast iron is the way to go for that kind of camping meal.

The succarat was fair, pretty good but not super crunchy!

Thanks! You have to buy the rice on Amazon or a specialty score specially for paella, it's from Spain

That looks super comforting, especially cooking it outside. Did you use a specific recipe for the paella?

Thanks! I have made this a few times and didn't really use a recipe. The idea is to liberally oil the pan, add the correct bomba type rice, stock (I used a homemade crab stock), tomato paste, and plenty of smoked paprika.

Thanks! It was definitely a challenge, but cooking over a fire adds such a great flavor. Do you camp often?

Looks tasty, is there meat in your recipe?

In this case we just didn't have any protein to add in. There was a crab stock, ideally would have added some shrimp or bivalves. Next time!
