Shrimp And Chorizo Tapas Recipes

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO STEW

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a small Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the chorizo, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt and cook until the oil turns deep red, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes (reserve the juice), the bay leaves, thyme and oregano and cook 1 more minute.
• Add the potatoes, 2 cups water, the tomato juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the potatoes are almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add the kale and cook until the potatoes and kale are tender, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the shrimp and simmer just until they curl and turn pink, about 3 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Ladle the stew into bowls.

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, paprika and olive oil. Set aside
• Put a slice chorizo into the curve of a shrimp. Thread a skewer through the shrimp starting at the tail and working your way up through the chorizo into the shrimp. Repeat with remaining shrimp and chorizo.
• Pour half of the marinade on the bottom of a large baking dish and spread out to evenly coat the bottom of the dish. Put the finished skewers on top and brush the remaining marinade evenly over the top of the skewers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Season the skewers with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the skewers for 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill to a serving platter and serve with lemon wedges.

CHORIZO AND SHRIMP TOSTADA

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a 14-inch heavy bottom skillet or low-sided Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the tortillas 2 at a time and fry until golden brown and puffed, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer to a wire rack to drain. Sprinkle with salt while hot.
• Cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up chunks of meat with a wooden spoon until the meat is browned and nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and continue to cook and stir until the shrimp are opaque, 2 to 4 minutes longer. Add the corn and cook until the corn is warmed and the chorizo and shrimp are cooked through.
• To serve, place one fried tortilla on a plate. Top with a quarter of the chorizo and shrimp mixture. Spoon a quarter of the enchilada sauce over top. Sprinkle with a quarter of the queso fresco, a few slices of chile and cilantro leaves. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Serve each with a lime wedge.

ONE-POT SPANISH-STYLE SHRIMP AND CHORIZO PASTA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and pasta, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until pasta starts to turn golden, about 5 minutes (pasta will break up a bit during stirring).
• Lower heat and add garlic, tomato paste and chorizo, and cook until tomato paste is lightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Add fennel, clam juice and 1 cup of water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer over moderate heat until pasta has softened and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in shrimp, peas and Parmesan, cover and cook until shrimp is opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and parsley.
• Drizzle with oil and serve with lemon wedges.
