I'm trying to test all the untested paella recipes. SallyCan tested my untested pie recipe and I sort of felt that it became an honorary ep.
Tonight kitchen butterfly's paella recipe. Apparently I could get frozen langoustines from Citarella if I ordered ahead, but she ok'd a substitution with shrimp. The fish guy said I could use lobster, too, but my credit card is too thin. He said either way it's not going to be langoustines. Are langoustines really 8-12 oz each? How can you put 8-10 in a recipe of paella then? I'm using a lb of shrimp or so.

8 ounces each - no way! I must have had mini ones then, fresh from the Mediterrean sea :-) as I got 8 langoustines which weighed in at about 150g! Thank you luvcookbooks, you made this litte girl (ok big girl) happy. LOL

Hey, it was great! Sent the review and posted it under comments. I feel so intimidated about cooking seafood, because it's expensive and perishable, so it's hard to get started. This turned out to be relatively simple to cook and unbelievably delicious. I was amazed when I put the tea towel over the finished paella and the rice obediently sucked up all the liquid that was still in the dish while melding. I learned a lot.

Thirsfeld, your paella photo should be on the cover of a cookbook.

Hi dymnyno, I wanted to tell you that I think that your recipe looks delicious. I would have tested it had I not been so busy last week, and I do plan on making it one of these days. Will send you a note when I do ;)
