Best Portuguese Fishermans Shrimp And Chorizo Recipes

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO TAPAS

Steps:

• 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.

• In a small pot, over high heat, combine the sliced peppers, onions, and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until crisp and tender, about 3 minutes.

• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup water. In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the eggs and the spicy sausage mixture, along with the shredded cheese. Stir gently until the eggs are cooked and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Serve with toasted Portuguese English muffins.
