Shrimp and Sausage “Bake”

Serves 4 / Prep time: 15 minutes / Cook time: 20 minutes

Chorizo, a fully cooked cured sausage common in Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American cooking, can be either spicy or slightly sweet and has a distinctive red color from the copious amounts of paprika added during its creation. 

Chorizo is very high in protein, about 15 grams per 3-ounce portion, and is an excellent source of zinc, selenium, and vitamin B12.

INGREDIENTS :-

2 tablespoons olive oil

6 ounces chorizo sausage, diced

½ pound (16 to 20 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 red bell pepper, chopped

½ small sweet onion, chopped

2 teaspoons minced garlic

¼ cup Herbed Chicken Stock (page 141)

Pinch red pepper flakes

RECIPE :-

1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

2. Sauté the sausage until it is warmed through, about 6 minutes.

3. Add the shrimp and sauté until it is opaque and just cooked through, about 4 minutes.

4. Remove the sausage and shrimp to a bowl and set aside.

5. Add the red pepper, onion, and garlic to the skillet and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes.

6. Add the chicken stock to the skillet along with the cooked sausage and shrimp.

7. Bring the liquid to a simmer and simmer for 3 minutes.

8. Stir in the red pepper flakes and serve.

A CLOSER LOOK :-

Shrimp is often not sustainably caught, and most farmed shrimp are not considered to be very good for you. 

When purchasing shrimp, look for US wild-caught shrimp from the Pacific or southern areas or West Coast farmed shrimp from fully recirculating farms.
