Portuguese Fishermans Shrimp And Chorizo Recipes

PORTUGUESE FISHERMAN

Steps:

• 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.
• Add the chourico, linguica, vegetable juice, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the pepper mixture. Mix well. This can be made 1 or 2 days ahead and refrigerated.
• 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.

FISH AND PORTUGUESE SHRIMP

• Remove the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Change the heat to low; add onion to the skillet.
• Cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes or until onion is soft and golden.
• Add in the garlic and red pepper flakes; toss for 1 minute.

GRILLED CHORIZO, SHRIMP, AND BEEF WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Using a meat mallet, pound the skirt steak out thinly. Cut the steak into 1-1/2 inch strips and skewer on wooden skewers. Skewer the shrimp in a similar fashion on additional skewers. Each skewer should contain only a single piece of food to be grilled.
• Cut the sausage into diagonal slices and also skewer. Place the skewered meats onto platters and lightly marinate in olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to cook. Marinate not longer than overnight.
• Prepare the chimichurri dipping sauce:
• Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a large bowl, mix well and set aside. Make the chimichurri well in advance of cooking. (It can be prepared 3 days in advance and kept refrigerated for up to a week.)
• Prepare a medium-hot fire on a well-oiled outdoor grill or indoor stove-top grill pan. Carefully drain all excess oil from the skewered meats and fish, and season with salt and pepper. Cook each skewered anticucho for 2-3 minutes or until charred and fully cooked.
• Serve the anticuchos on a platter, drizzle chimichurri over the top or serve separately.

PORTUGUESE FISH STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy 4 to 6-quart pot over medium flame. Add the onions, garlic, and sausage; cook, stirring with wooden spoon, until the sausage renders out some of its fat and the onions are soft.
• Toss in the herbs and then the potatoes, stir that around for a minute to coat in the oil. Pour in the chicken broth and bring up to a simmer.
• Add the kale, season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until the potatoes are nearly tender.
• Uncover the pot and add the clams; simmer, covered, for 15 minutes until the clams open. Add the fish and continue to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until the fish is cooked. Garnish with chopped parsley and drizzle with olive oil.
