Paella is a traditional Spanish dish that packs a lot of flavor into each bite. Typically made with long-grain rice and a variety of seafood, meats, and vegetables, it is a dish that requires patience and attention to detail. However, this recipe is a quick and easy take on the classic dish, using Minute Rice and precooked shrimp or scallops. The addition of pepperoni and Tabasco sauce add a unique twist to the dish and give it some extra flavor. This dish is perfect for those busy weeknights when you need something quick and nutritious. It can also be easily adapted to suit your taste preferences by swapping out the protein or vegetables.
