I have been making a quick Paella at home (a spanish dish made with many meats and saffron rice) One night it dawned on me that I could make it "out there".

(feeds 3-4 people depending on size of bag of rice)

One bag of saffron rice (available at most grocers)
One onion chopped
One red pepper chopped
Garlic (plenty)
Fresh caught fish/crawdads
2 Hard Chorizo sausages sliced (available vacuum packed from grocer)
Chicken cubed (I will try to find bagged)
Hot sauce or cayenne to taste
Salt and pepper

-One pot cooking
Saute veggies and meat in tablespoon of oil 5 minutes (chorizo also gives off flavorful oil)
Add rice and water per instructions and cover 20 minutes stirring towards the end.

This should wow my buddies come August.

Hey Sag,

I'm heading up in a couple of weeks and paella is on my menu! So glad to find this post. Although I'm using a box of premeasured rice & seasonings but adding dried seafood from the chinese grocery store. (And hopefully some fresh fish.)

I just take all the plastic bags & pouches out of the cardboard box, cut the cooking directions, tape 'em to the pouch, throw it all in a baggie and I'm good to go.

Cheers,
Softshoe
