Tropical Shrimp Paella

I made this for the first time last night on an almost dare, my cooking skills are not amazing, i am not sure where the recipe originates, my friend gave it to me, anyway it was amazing, to me anyway! It looks difficult and lengthy but it really is not, just takes time to get it together but i love chopping. Prep and cooking time is estimated.
