Shrimp Sauté with Chorizo and Corn

1. Render

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced chorizo and cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo releases its oils and begins to brown.

2. Sweat Aromatics

To the same skillet, add the scallions, garlic and celery with a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and become fragrant.

3. Cook Vegetables

Add the corn kernels to the skillet with a pinch of salt, and continue to cook for 2 minutes.

4. Cook Shrimp

Raise the heat to high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Sauté the shrimp, stirring frequently, until they are about 50% cooked and have started to turn pink, about 2 minutes.

5. Deglaze

Pour in the dry white wine and let it reduce by 80%, stirring occasionally. This will take around 2-3 minutes. The alcohol will cook off, leaving a concentrated flavor that compliments the shrimp and chorizo.

6. Finishing Ingredients

Finish the dish by sprinkling minced chives over the top. Give everything a good stir to distribute the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Since the chorizo is already salty, you may not need additional salt. Serve immediately, sharing the vibrant colors and rich flavors of this simple yet delightful dish.
