Señor Pepe's Paella Catering, Florida
Are you in Florida & looking for paella catering that absolutely slaps? Look no further - Señor Pepe's Paella Catering prepares paella on-site that is fresh, delicious & bursting with flavor!
We booked Señor Pepe's Paella Catering for my birthday and Señor Pepe came to our Airbnb and cooked up the most drool worthy seafood paella. He brought all of the necessary equipment to cook and serve us and got to making the paella on the backyard deck by the pool. Standard disposable plates, napkins and eating utensils were included in our booking. Señor Pepe took care of all set-up and take-down of his cooking/serving equipment.
We added three Tapas to our paella booking - Spanish Cheese Plates of Aged Manchego, Tipsy Goat and Iberico cheese, Meat plates of Spicy Spanish Chorizo and Fruit Plates. These Tapas were great and gave all of us something to munch on while the paella was being prepared.
The Spanish Chorizo was a standout and had an incredible spicy flavor to it that we couldn’t get enough of.
Watching Señor Pepe make the paella was too fun and really added to our overall experience. Señor Pepe was so sweet and professional and we all could feel his enthusiasm for cooking. He can trace his family history back to Galicia, Spain so cooking authentic paella is his pride & speciality! The paella took about 30 minutes to prepare.
We had the Paella de Marisco (Seafood Paella) that is made with with Saffron infused seafood broth, bomba rice, shrimp, fish, sea scallops, mussels, clams, squid, green beans, carrots, onions, garlic, tomato sofrito (puree) and garnished with fire roasted red peppers, green peas, rosemary and lemon wedges. We also added 4oz lobster tails.
It was soon time to dig into the gloriously lobster and seafood filled paella! The paella was a DELICIOUS feast and the shrimp, lobster tails, mussels and clams were oh so fresh and gave us a taste of the ocean. The shrimp and lobster were large & succulent.
The rice was a beautiful golden color and perfectly flavored with saffron. The sprinkling of vegetables - specifically the crisp sweet peas - gave the paella a nice, subtle green legume snap in each bite. 10/10! AMAZING paella.
Our Paella came with a tossed green salad topped with cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette dressing and dinner rolls. Both great sides to complement the paella.
We will 100% book Señor Pepe's Paella Catering again in the future! Thank you for a fabulous dinner Señor Pepe!
