Oh I can't wait, looks fantastic!

One question if you have a moment, chef: Why do most people cook the shrimp with the tails on?

Does it enhance flavor? It just seems like an unnecessary inconvenience while eating.

a little flavor, but mostly appearance.

Hi! I'm Valencian, so I know a little bit about paella ;) It looks delicious.

Did you know that the name paella is due to de pan we use to cook it? It's a kind of wide, flat pan, with two equal holders at each side, similar to the one you used. The typical, original one is done with chicken, rabbit and some special kinds of beans not easy to find anywhere nowadays (rojet and tavella). Anyway, it's done with seashells and shrimps in many places.

Ah! It is also typical to cook it outdoors in the countryside, using just a fire. It's called "paella de leña" and is really delicious (although not easy to make lol). Some day I'll post the recipe. :D
