Sautéed Shrimp with Chorizo and Garlic

Juicy shrimp sautéed with diced chorizo, garlic, and parsley; a quick, flavorful, and low-carb dish.

Ingredients

peeled shrimp

mild chorizo (no added sugar), diced

minced garlic

olive oil

chopped fresh parsley

Espelette pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat; add the oil and diced chorizo, cooking for 2–3 minutes until they release their fat and begin to brown.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to release the aromas without burning.
3. Add the shrimp and sauté quickly for 2–3 minutes per side until they become opaque and pink; sprinkle with a pinch of Espelette pepper if using.
4. Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning; serve immediately over a bed of roasted cauliflower or with a green salad.

Variants

• Use spicy chorizo for more kick; add cherry tomatoes (will slightly increase carbs).

Tips

• Do not overcook the shrimp to maintain their texture; cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
