Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces chorizo sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 whole lemon, sliced into wedges for serving
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the sliced chorizo to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the sausage starts to brown and release its oils. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring often, until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they just begin to turn pink.
Flip the shrimp and return the chorizo to the skillet. Pour in the dry white wine and stir to combine.
Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly and the shrimp to finish cooking.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy finish.
