Bone Broth + Seafood Paella

The word paella comes from the Latin word for shallow pan, which is the type of pan used to make this dish. Paella was introduced in Spain and was originally touted as a farmer’s food. It was a hearty meal for farmers and is a great post-workout meal. This is a wonderful dish to make for a large group!
