This is a classic Spanish dish whose name would be more correctly pronounced "paeya". The main ingredient of paella is rice.
Instead of the saffron, cayenne pepper and paprika required separately in the recipe, you can use a ready-made paella spice mixture. The combination of meat and fish or chicken and shrimp is traditional in Spain. If you don't like it, just make chicken paella or shrimp paella, increasing the quantity accordingly.
