Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon, plus 1/4 cup Spanish olive oil
  • 1 pound chorizo, sliced on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup dry (fino) sherry
  • 1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined raw medium shrimp
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley leaves
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

In a large skillet or cazuela, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and saute the sliced chorizo until it begins to brown around the edges, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized around the edges and softened somewhat, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup of the sherry and cook for 1 minute. Add the shrimp, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sherry and 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and remainder of the salt and pepper; stir to combine and remove from the heat. Serve immediately, on small plates with any accumulated cooking juices spooned over the top. Pass the bread at the table.

    Amazingly easy. Outrageously tasty. We elevated it from a tapas dish to entree by adding cannellini beans and serving over brown rice.

    This was wonderful. I think those who had issues with the chorizo falling apart were using recipe chorizo in a tube, rather than the regular sausage links? The links worked perfect and tasted perfect. The sauce is amazing. Don't change a thing.

    Fabulous recipe. Family loved it! I used chicken chorizo sausage from Whole Foods Market which is made fresh in house. It was perfect. It is the Mexican style, but I cooked it thru first and then sliced it, put back in the pan and proceeded with the recipe using the pan drippings. This is definately a keeper recipe.
