When people think of paella, they picture big servings and a sense of community, which is why the M&S Collection's bite-sized version feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new. The M&S Collection Paella Bites take the form of handmade rice cubes infused with prawn stock, combined with black tiger prawns and sweet peas, then topped with smoky tomato sauce for layers of flavor. A handful of other real, recognizable ingredients are also featured in the party-ready product, such as onions, extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, parsley, and ground spices.
Perfect for holiday entertaining, these bites are freezable and offer a snackable alternative to sitting down for a meal, or preparing a large, multi-serve seafood dish.
