Angel-Hair Pasta with Sauteed Oysters and Chorizo image

In this easy pasta course, chorizo -- a cured-pork sausage seasoned with chili powder and paprika -- is a lively complement to cooked oysters and a refreshing departure from the smoked bacon commonly paired with them.

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces dried, hot chorizo sausage, thinly sliced into rounds
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons sherry
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
2 dozen shucked fresh oysters
8 ounces angel-hair pasta
1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
2/3 cup strained oyster liquor

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chorizo. Cook, stirring, until crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, and let drain. Wipe out pan.
  • Melt butter in pan over medium heat. Add flour, spices, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, whisking constantly, 3 minutes (do not brown). Add sherry, and cook, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in cream and oyster liquor. Bring to a simmer, and whisk until thick, about 3 minutes.
  • Add salt to boiling water; add pasta, and cook until al dente. Drain. Add oysters to sauce; gently poach until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pasta; toss. Divide among plates. Top with chorizo; sprinkle with orange zest.

I'm not a big fan of oysters, but I loved this dish! The oysters were cooked perfectly and they didn't have a strong fishy flavor.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover oysters. I always have a few oysters left over after making a seafood stew or chowder, and this is the perfect way to use them up.
