Shrimp Chorizo Sweet Potato Skillet

I kinda squealed with excitement as I tasted this creation. I have never cooked with chorizo but I happened to see a package at Whole Foods and thought I want to try that with something. Now to be real….It sat for a bit. I just didn’t know what to make, then bam. It came to me after watching a Top Chef episode. Shrimp and Chorizo!! Fast and full of flavor. This is a 30-minute dish that can easily feed a well. My hubby and I did pull out the tortillas for some dipping, we love some crunch. Check out some of the swaps you can do with this basic recipe in the box below.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of pork chorizo

• 1 pound of shrimp

• 1/4 red onion, diced

• 1 sweet potato, diced

• 1 medium yellow pepper, diced

• 4 oz sliced mushrooms

• 3-4 hand fulls of baby spinach

• 1 cup corn (frozen)

• 2 tbsp butter

• 1 juice of a lime

• 1-2 tsp salt to taste

• 1/2 tsp pepper

Pulling together:

First: Heat pan on medium heat and add chorizo and cook. Once mostly cooked add butter and sweet potato. Stir

Secondly: Continue cooking the chorizo and sweet potato for around 5-8 minutes, then add the onion, pepper, mushroom, stir. I do cover with a lid to help the potatoes cook. Be sure to stir frequently.

Third: Once the potato is mostly cooked through, add the shrimp and corn. I sprinkle a little salt over the shrimp then toss with the mixture. Once the shrimp is pink add the spinach and squeeze of lime and toss

Lastly: Once the spinach is cooked down, taste and add more salt as needed. Otherwise, you are ready to serve with tortillas or even on a bed of rice or leafy greens. Feel free to add a sour cream or avocado too!
