There are so many variations of paella...so mix it up and try new things!
This was my first attempt...and not bad if I say so myself.

1 can diced tomatos (I used w/green chilis)
12 shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 oz peas
1 package andouille sausage
1 package chunk crab meat

2. Heat olive oil, add sausage and brown.
3. Heat olive oil, add chicken and brown.

4. Cook shrimp.

5. Heat olive oil, add veggies.
