Rice With Chorizo, Shrimp and Green Olives image

This is a recipe from Food and Wine magazine. Chorizo is a Spanish pork sausage that packs a lot of flavor. Don't skimp there! The chorizo is cooked so that it crisps in it's own spiced and yummy fat. Then the rice is prepared in the same pot so it absorbs any fat left in the pan, which gives it great flavor. Enjoy!

This dish is a bit spicy, but I love it that way. If you don't like spicy food, you can always reduce the amount of chili powder.
