Best Spicy Chorizo Shrimp Saute Recipes

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO IN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium straight-sided pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat and saute the chorizo and onions, breaking the chorizo up with a wooden spoon while cooking until it resembles ground beef. Add the adobo, paprika and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until the fat is rendered and the onions are tender and cooked into the chorizo, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the remaining oil and the garlic and lower the heat to medium-low. Let the flavors infuse over the low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the shrimp to the garlic oil, raise the heat slightly, and stir and turn to cook the shrimp evenly, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve as an appetizer on toothpicks with crusty, chewy bread.

• Increase the heat to high, add the shrimp and stir to coat.
• Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the pan is nearly dry, 2-3 minutes. (You do want some pan juice for the finished dish.).
• Return the chorizo to the pan, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the parsley.
• Cook until the chorizo is hot and the shrimp is opaque, about 2 minutes.
• Place the toasts on 4 plates. Spoon the shrimp, chorizo and pan juices on top.

SPANISH SHRIMP WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• In small pan place chorizo. Cover with water and bring to boil. Simmer for 2 minutes.
• Drain water from chorizos. Cut chorizo into 1/4 inch slices, at a bit of an angle.
• In a bowl combine butter, shallots, parsley, smoked paprika, and sweet/hot paprika. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• In large saute pan, add sliced chorizo and fry up on both sides. About 2minutes per side. Increase heat to high and add shrimp to pan and cook until shrimp are starting to turn pink, but not thoroughly cooked.
• Remove pan from stove and add brandy. Place back on stove and cook high until alcohol evaporates, about 1 minute.
• Add butter mixture to pan and cook until all is melted and shrimp are cooked and hot.
• Serve shrimp immediately.
• You may serve over hot rice or in a bowl so you can dip crusty bread into the sauce.
• Garnish with lemon.
