Tapas-Style Shrimp

I've been in the mood for Cuban food ever since last Friday, so I decided to make Moros y Cristianos as part of my dinner. I decided to pair it with a shrimp dish I made up about a year ago in an effort to incorporate as much traditional Spanish flavors as I could in one dish. I normally serve it with a crusty bread so that I can use it to dip the flavored olive oil.
