The other necessary ingredient is rice. I've never heard of Paella over
bread or noodles. I like Mary Thiesse's friend's comment:

The first paella I ever had was in Baja California near Ensenada. It was
spectacular, with all manner of seafood including tiny octopus. It also had
chicken and chorizo. Yum!
