Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound spicy Mexican chorizo, casing removed
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet or Vidalia onion
1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
1 head garlic, peeled and finely chopped
Salt
1 1/2 pounds peeled deveined shrimp (16/20 count)
Crusty, chewy bread, for sopping

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.

ONE-POT SPANISH-STYLE SHRIMP AND CHORIZO PASTA



One-Pot Spanish-Style Shrimp and Chorizo Pasta image

Fideos are very thin noodles that are traditionally cooked right in the sauce, allowing them to soak up maximum flavor. Both angel hair pasta and capellini are great substitutes if you don't have access to Spanish fideos. To create a nutty, smoky layer, the noodles are first toasted with olive oil and chorizo. A good-quality bottled clam juice is important here, since it creates the briny broth that accentuates the shrimp and enhances the overall seafood flavor; the Bar Harbour brand has a very clean and naturally briny clam flavor.

Categories     pastas, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
8 ounces fideos, angel hair pasta or capellini, broken into 3-inch pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 ounces Spanish chorizo, casing removed and sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, quartered and sliced into thin wedges
2 (8-ounce) bottles clam juice
1 pound large shrimp, cleaned
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving

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.

1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/2 small chipotle, seeded and minced, plus 2 Tbs. adobo sauce (from a can of chipotles en adobo)
1 Tbs. tomato paste
1 tsp. light brown sugar
1 lb. shrimp (21 to 25 per lb.), peeled, deveined, rinsed, and patted dry
3/4 tsp. kosher salt; more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 lb. chorizo, cut into 1/4-inch dice (scant 1 cup)
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch dice (2 cups)

1/2 small red bell pepper, sliced into strips about 1/4 inch wide and 2 to 3 inches long (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbs. fresh lime juice; more as needed

Steps:

  • In a measuring cup, whisk together the chicken broth, chipotle, adobo sauce, tomato paste, and brown sugar. Sprinkle the shrimp with a scant 1/4 tsp. salt and a few generous grinds of black pepper. Put a 12-inch skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat for 1-1/2 minutes. Add 2 Tbs. of the oil and once it's shimmering hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until the shrimp browns nicely, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown the second side, about 1-1/2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. The shrimp should still be a little undercooked. Add the remaining 2 Tbs. oil and the chorizo to the pan and cook, tossing, until it starts to brown, about 1 minute. Add the zucchini, onion, and pepper, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt, and cook, tossing often, until the zucchini browns in places and is just tender, about 4 minutes. Add the broth mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low. Stir in the shrimp, about half of the cilantro, and the lime juice. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender and the shrimp are opaque throughout (cut one in half to check), 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lime juice. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining cilantro.
