No paella pan? No problem. You can still make authentic-tasting paella with a sheet pan. This sheet pan paella is full of flavor, and with this method, all the components from the rice to the sausage and even the seafood turn out perfectly. And best of all, it's a fun and easy way to serve a crowd, especially during the spring or summer. You can find dried chorizo at most grocery stores in the deli section near the salami and pepperoni. You don't want to stir the rice too much, or it won't be able to toast around the edges.
