What makes Seafood paella higher or lower in calories?
Paella gets most of its calories from the rice and the olive oil it cooks in. More rice, more oil or a heavier hand with sausage and chorizo raise it, while extra shrimp, mussels and vegetables keep it lighter.
Tips for a lighter portion
- Take a smaller scoop of rice and pile on the seafood.
- Squeeze lemon instead of adding more oil at the table.
- Skip the chorizo or sausage if the recipe adds it.
