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

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.

  • Use a good quality rice: A long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, will work best for this recipe.
  • Toast the rice before cooking: This will help to give the pilaf a nutty flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth: A chicken or vegetable broth will work well for this recipe. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Let the pilaf rest before serving: This will help the rice to absorb all of the flavors of the other ingredients.
