Recipe 16: Spanish shrimp and chorizo over rice

As per usual, I never follow a recipe completely. So here is my version of this gem found in the Big Orange Cookbook

Ingredients:

14 oz chorizo

16 jumbo shrimp

Handful of fresh parsley

Juice of one orange

2T olive oil

2 cloves garlic minced

2 t smoked paprika

Salt to taste 

1 c brown rice

2t turmeric 

2 c chicken broth 

1/2 c white wine

1 c peas

1/4 c green olives

1/4 c yellow onion

Hot sauce to taste

Combine garlic, salt, paprika, hot sauce, orange, parsley and marinate shrimp. While marinating, cook rice in wine and broth. Add peas, turmeric, and onion to sweat while cooking. When done, combine and add olives and almonds. 

*** funny note. I have a very small and naughty kitten. I measured out my couscous and left it on the counter. When I returned, she had climbed the counter and was digging like a sandbox so I had to get out the water bottle for discipline and start all over with non-contaminated ingredients.
