How to time it perfectly so the rice is cooked perfectly, otherwise, the dish is ruined

The 1st time was seafood, mussels, clams, lobster, peas were in it. It was very large, delicious. I've had it many different ways in Spain, the Spaniards throw it together like a simple dish
🔥 VARIABLE #05 · Ingredient Quality
Outstanding rice doesn't always require expensive ingredients. Understanding ingredient quality means understanding flavor, consistency and balance. Share questions, comparisons and recommendations here.

What about saffron?
🔥 VARIABLE #09 · Atmospheric Pressure
Altitude and atmospheric pressure change the way rice cooks. Cooking in Madrid isn't the same as cooking in Denver or Bogotá. Let's discuss how pressure affects cooking times and final results.

I had a lot of paella in Spain. I'm in Arizona, how do I adjust?
🔥 VARIABLE #10 · Time
Time isn't a fixed recipe. It's the consequence of all the previous variables working together. Here we'll discuss timing, visual cues and how to know exactly when your rice is ready.

I lived in Spain and have had some great paella. I first tried paella at 16, loaded with seafood. I've never tried to make it, I'm intimidated.
