🥘 Ingredients:
🍲• 1 lb chorizo sausage, sliced
🍲• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
🍲• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
🍲• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
🍲• 1 red onion, sliced
🍲• 2 cloves garlic, minced
🍲• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
🍲• 1/2 cup pitted green olives
🍲• 1/4 cup olive oil
🍲• 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
🍲• 1 tsp smoked paprika
🍲• Salt and pepper, to taste
🍲• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cherry tomatoes, green olives, 2 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered and the olives are slightly charred. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
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.
Step 5: Return the chorizo to the skillet and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Step 6: Transfer the tapas to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
💡 Pro Tips:
🧂• For a vegetarian option, omit the chorizo and shrimp, and add roasted vegetables like zucchini and eggplant.
🧂• To make ahead, prepare the tapas up to 2 hours in advance and reheat gently before serving.
🧂• Serve with crusty bread and a cold glass of Spanish wine for the ultimate tapas experience.
