6.24.12 Chorizo Crack Sauce with shrimp

-

this stuff is addictive...
we were going to have something else for dinner, left overs that were delicious...but got to talking about this and couldn't resist

1 onion chopped, 3 cloves garlic minced, sweated in 3 tbs butter (don't season with salt as the chorizo is very salty)  add  tsp red pepper flakes, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/4 tsp cumin and fry spices a bit
I did this ahead of time last night, while E.M. was at the store and he could smell it coming up the stairs...so yummy all by itself

3/4 lb shrimp, peeled/deveined
8 oz chorizo
3/4 cup white wine
1&1/2 cup chicken broth
1 TBS tomato paste
1/2 cup heavy cream

The best french baquette you can find, split and spread with butter.
I love the bread from Market Street

after sauteing vegis, add chorizo and cook till rawness is gone,
add tomato paste and fry a little, add wine and broth
add shrimp (which I cut in half to make more bite size) and cook till tender
finish with a large handful of torn fresh basil and cream
