Shrimp Chorizo Stew Recipes

PORTUGUESE FISHERMAN'S SHRIMP AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, add the chorizo and render 2 minutes. Then add the potato, onion, carrot, garlic, chile pepper, thyme, and bay leaf, soften 5 to 6 minutes. Wilt in the kale and season with a little nutmeg. Stir in the chickpeas, tomatoes, and stock into the pot, bring to a low boil and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Cool and store for make-ahead meal.
• Heat the chorizo and vegetable sauce base to a low boil, when ready to serve. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and firm. Add the juice of 1 lemon and turn off the heat.

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO STEW

Steps:

• Thinly slice 4 cloves garlic. Cook chorizo and 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high, stirring often, until chorizo begins to brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add sliced garlic and fennel seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chickpeas, tomatoes, wine, and salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until tomatoes begin to break down, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover; break up tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Stir in ½ cup water.
• Add shrimp to pan and cook over medium, stirring often, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in basil.
• Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heat. Brush cut sides of baguette with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Place baguette, cut sides up, directly on oven rack or on a baking sheet. Broil until baguette is browned and toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from oven. Rub cut sides of baguette with remaining 1 clove garlic. Cut each baguette piece in half crosswise. Serve shrimp mixture with toasted baguette and crushed red pepper, if using.

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 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.

ROASTED SHRIMP AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss tomatoes, garlic, onion, and oregano with oil in a large bowl; season with pepper and the salt. Spread mixture evenly in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet. Roast, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst, about 30 minutes.
• Add shrimp and chorizo, and stir until well coated. Roast until shrimp is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a grill or grill pan until medium-hot. Using remaining 1/3 cup oil, brush each side of bread with 1 teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill bread, turning once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. (Alternatively, toast bread under broiler.)
• Put a bread slice in each of four serving bowls. Divide shrimp mixture among bowls; garnish with oregano. Serve remaining bread slices on the side.

• 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.
