Spanish Chorizo Pizza Recipe Recipes Recipe For Shrimp

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO IN GARLIC SAUCE

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.

• In a bowl combine butter, shallots, parsley, smoked paprika, and sweet/hot paprika. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• In large saute pan, add sliced chorizo and fry up on both sides. About 2minutes per side. Increase heat to high and add shrimp to pan and cook until shrimp are starting to turn pink, but not thoroughly cooked.
• Remove pan from stove and add brandy. Place back on stove and cook high until alcohol evaporates, about 1 minute.
• Add butter mixture to pan and cook until all is melted and shrimp are cooked and hot.
• Serve shrimp immediately.
• You may serve over hot rice or in a bowl so you can dip crusty bread into the sauce.

SPANISH PIZZA WITH CHORIZO AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the warm water and gently stir. Let sit until the yeast starts to foam, about 5 minutes.
• Dump the mixture into a stand mixer. Add the salt and olive oil. Turn the mixer to the lowest speed and gradually add in 1 cup of the flour, mixing until most of the lumps disappear, about 30 seconds. Slowly add in 1 cup flour and mix until just combined.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup flour on a pastry board or the countertop. Turn the pizza dough onto the work surface and knead in the remaining 2 cups flour. Continue to knead for a total of 5 minutes.
• Coat a clean bowl with olive oil. Move the dough to the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a towel, then place a plate on top. Let the dough rise in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the tomato sauce, bring to a simmer, and cook for another 5 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken. Set aside to cool until the dough finishes rising.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it in half. Roll one half into a 12-inch round and place it on a baking sheet.
• Spread half of the tomato sauce over the round, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Top with half each of the chorizo, poblanos, and bell pepper.
• Bake the Spanish pizza for 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is lightly browned. While the first pizza is baking, prepare the second. As each pizza comes from the oven, top it with half of the Manchego cheese, slice, and serve.

SPANISH GARLIC SHRIMP (GAMBAS AL AJILLO)

Steps:

• Slice garlic thinly. Season shrimp with kosher salt and paprika. Mix to coat.
• Heat garlic and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until garlic starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and increase heat to high. Toss and turn shrimp with tongs until starting to curl but still undercooked, about 2 minutes. Pour in sherry. Cook, stirring continuously, until sauce comes up to a boil and shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley with a spoon.

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO PIZZA WITH MANCHEGO CHEESE, TOASTED GARLIC, AND ESCAROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500°F. Put a pizza stone or a baking sheet on the middle rack and preheat it along with the oven for at least 20 minutes.
• Put a large skillet over high heat and coat it with the oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for only 10 to 20 seconds, until it just begins to lightly brown. You have to keep moving the garlic around the pan so it doesn't burn; if it does, start over because nothing is worse than the flavor of burnt garlic. Quickly add the escarole and season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning the escarole over with the spoon, until it wilts, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, turn out onto a large plate or baking sheet, and allow to cool. If the escarole looks too wet, transfer to a colander and drain in the sink.
• To prepare the pizza, dip the ball of dough into a little flour, shake off the excess, and set on a clean, lightly floured surface. Stretch the dough with your hands, turning the ball as you press down the center. Continue spreading the dough into a 10-inch circle with either your hands or a rolling pin. Leave the dough slightly thick so the topping does not seep through.
• Dust a pizza paddle with flour (if you don't have a paddle you can use a rimless cookie sheet as a substitute) and slide it under the dough. Lightly brush the outer edge of the dough with oil to create a sheen on the surface of the crust. An important tip: take care not to get any oil on the pizza paddle or pan, or else when you try to slide the dough off , it will stick.
• Spread the cheese evenly on the pizza, leaving about a 1/4-inch border. Distribute the shrimp and chorizo evenly over the cheese. Spread the escarole evenly over the top.
• Slide the prepared pizza onto the hot baking stone and bake until the crust is nicely browned, roughly 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice with a pizza cutter.
• Ingredient note
• Escarole
• A wonderfully versatile green, escarole remains one of those vegetables that people aren't sure how to prepare. You can eat escarole raw in a salad, and I love it that way, especially with Creamy Parsley Dressing (page 87), but it's at its best cooked. It's less bitter than its cousins radicchio and chicory, and sautéing it mellows out the flavor, making it sweet and vibrant. Escarole can be pretty sandy when you take it home from the market; luckily it is easy to clean. Cut the escarole crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips and put it in a large bowl of water. Swish the water around; the sand will fall to the bottom of the bowl. Lift the escarole out with your hands and put on a kitchen towel to dry. That's it!
