Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 ounces Spanish chorizo, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 cup dry sherry or white wine
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 loaf crusty bread, for serving
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes, until it begins to render its fat and lightly brown.
Push the chorizo to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic to the other side. Cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the chorizo and garlic, stirring to evenly coat.
Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and are just cooked through.
Pour in the dry sherry or white wine, stirring to deglaze the skillet and scrape up any browned bits. Let the liquid simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped parsley and remove from heat.
Transfer the shrimp and chorizo mixture to a serving dish and serve warm with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.
