The recipe is straightforward: combine succulent, jumbo shrimp with hearty tomato-braised chickpeas for a satisfying dinner. Leftovers pair wonderfully with pasta, rice, or a piece of crusty bread. For a professional touch, wine adds a nice acidity to the dish, though you can substitute with broth and a dash of lemon juice for an alcohol-free version.
Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
4 ounces dry-cured Spanish chorizo, diced (about 3/4 cup)
-
1 shallot, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
-
1 pound cherry tomatoes (approximately 3 cups)
-
1 14-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
-
0.5 cup dry white wine, or substitute with 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 pound extra-large raw shrimp, peeled and cleaned
-
4 cups packed baby arugula
-
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
Directions
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Stir in the shallot and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute.
-
Add the cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, wine (or broth and lemon juice), and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and break down, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover and gently crush the tomatoes with a wooden spoon.
-
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until they turn pink and are fully cooked, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
In a separate bowl, toss the arugula with lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Serve the shrimp mixture over the dressed arugula.
