Report
Spanish Shrimp Tapas with Chorizo and Lemon. Delicious Tapas or appetizer recipe with bold chorizo, lemon, and paprika. Would be great as a main course with Spanish style rice.

Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp 26-30 count
- 1/2 pound chorizo fresh ground
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 2 medium lemon plural
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of baking soda onto shrimp in a bowl. Stir to combine and place in fridge until ready to use.
- Saute chorizo in large pan on medium heat. Break up any large pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook chorizo fully, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove chorizo from pan and set aside. Return same pan to the stove. Add 2 Tablespoons of oil to pan and add shrimp and saute for roughly 6 minutes. Cook shrimp until nice and pink and shrimp are firm to the touch.
- Squeeze juice from half a lemon into pan and scrape bottom of pan to remove flavor bits. Add paprika and stir.
- Quickly add chorizo back to pan. Stir to combine and it's finished. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- The shrimp are excellent on top of some grilled bread. This would work especially well with smaller shrimp. For an entree/main course I would double the recipe and serve with rice.
- No salt is added because of the chorizo. Taste it at the end and adjust if necessary.
