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.

Amazing recipe, given IF you use Spanish chorizo. Mexican WILL fall apart and doesn't taste half as good anyways in my opinion. I will be serving this tomorrow for a tapas party. Not easy to screw up either!

My husband made this last night and I just about licked the plate. Delicious! We didn't have Sherry, so he used Garnacha. He also used Portuguese hot sausage. He served it with toasted whole-wheat pita... so yummy!
Had it again today for lunch. I'll be dreaming about it tonight.
