Easier Paella

I just wanted a little Paella. Cut up a quarter of an onion, 1/2 cup celery and about 2 TBL of cilantro Put it all in a small saute pan in melted butter to meld flavors and tenderize the veges. Added this mixture to the rice cooker that had enough rice for two and a couple of pinches of saffron and one of salt. Did not start the rice cooker yet. I had been steaming gulf shrimp with the shell on, frozen clams in the shell, and frozen black shell mussels. I took some of the broth and added some of the broth to the rice. I then filled the rest of the appropriate amount of water to the rice cooker and turned it on. I did add one can of drained diced tomatoes after the rice was finished. I tossed the gorgeous yellow saffroned rice with the seafood in a huge white bowl. Big D was more than impressed! Success with an easier Paella! Leftovers enough for today! To the purists of Paella, no I did not use Olive Oil. No I did not use rabbit, or chicken. I like a seafood Paella. I did not cook it over a wood burning fire. Nope, no peas either. Nope no red peppers either. But it was so good and we liked it!
