"From my friend Maria, who knows what good is! This is a pretty easy recipe for company, as long as they like seafood. The last time I made it, I used shrimp, mussels, clams, calamari, and something my fish monger called "rock lobster". They were like mini tails. I also increased the rice to two boxes and four people made this disappear!"

I live just outside the Big Apple. I am passionate about my husband, my kids, my cats, my friends, reading, cooking, and Santa Fe. I love "Marcella Cucina" and have enjoyed everything I made from it, but on a daily basis I use Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything". My pet peeve is procrastinators - don't they know it's ALWAYS later than you think????
