Not-So-Purist Paella

My mother lived in Spain briefly, where she first encountered paella. Over the years her recipe has evolved so much that I’m sure a purist would dismiss it as something else altogether. I can’t speak to that, but I can tell you that I’ve been eating versions of this my entire life and, regardless of whether or not it is traditional, it is delicious. You may use any mixture of shellfish that you like — mussels, clams, etc.
