Contributed by: Margie House

Ingredients
1 tablespoon
1 pound chorizo
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined raw medium shrimp

Directions
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and saute the chorizo until fully cooked- 7 to 8 minutes.
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized around the edges and softened somewhat, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the shrimp, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add lemon juice, parsley and remainder of the salt and pepper; stir to combine and remove from the heat.
Serve immediately, on small plates with any accumulated cooking juices spooned over the top.
Pass the bread at the table.
