👩‍🍳 Instructions:

4. Step 4: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes per side. Stir in the smoked paprika, sherry vinegar, and the roasted tomato and olive mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Step 5: Return the chorizo to the skillet and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
6. Step 6: Transfer the tapas to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.

💡 Pro Tips:

• 🧂• Serve with crusty bread and a cold glass of Spanish wine for the ultimate tapas experience.
