Shrimp, Chorizo & Chicken Pasta Prep/Cook time: 15-20 minutes
Serves 3-4
Ingredients 1 box (10oz/300g) whole wheat Farfalle (or whatever your short favorite is) 1 tbsp olive oil 1 smoked chorizo sausage, diced 1lb/500g large shrimp, deveined & peeled 2-3 large cloves garlic, minced 1 cup cooked roasted or rotisserie chicken, diced or shredded Juice & zest of one lemon 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce Large pinch of red chili pepper flakes ½ cup arugula, coarsely chopped ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Directions 1. Cook the pasta in salted water in a large Dutch oven.
2. Once you’ve added the pasta to the boiling water, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the shrimp and garlic and cook until the shrimp start to turn pink. Flip shrimp and add the cooked chicken, lemon zest & juice, Worcestershire sauce, chili pepper flakes , arugula and cilantro. Toss and cook for another 2-3 minutes. The arugula will wilt, and the flavors will combine brilliantly.
3. Drain the pasta and add to the shrimp, chorizo & chicken in the skillet. Toss well, taste for seasoning and add extra oil, juice or chili pepper as needed.
This dish is another variation of my all-time favorite combo – shrimp, chorizo & garlic, so I don't like to serve it with anything that might detract from it or fight for center stage. A simple salad with oil and a touch of champagne vinegar or lemon juice is all you need.
