Rice With Chorizo, Shrimp and Green Olives image

This is a recipe from Food and Wine magazine. Chorizo is a Spanish pork sausage that packs a lot of flavor. Don't skimp there! The chorizo is cooked so that it crisps in it's own spiced and yummy fat. Then the rice is prepared in the same pot so it absorbs any fat left in the pan, which gives it great flavor. Enjoy!

The rice was a bit dry for my taste, but I think that is because I didn't add enough liquid. Next time, I will add more broth or water.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that is because I used a spicy chorizo. Next time, I will use a milder chorizo.
