I serve it simply as is, but it may also be served with pasta or rice.

Tapas Night Shrimp
What perfect timing as I am having tapas night and including my favorite recipe for shrimp. I use a cast-iron paella pan that a friend gave me year about 20 or so years ago, not anything like the paella pans that I've seen available, but really works great for this dish and stays hot for serving.
