Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the spaghetti al dente according to the package instructions.
Drain them, reserving a small ladle of cooking water (useful for thinning the sauce if necessary).
2. In a large skillet, pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Sauté the onion and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes, until they become translucent.
3. Add the diced red pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until they soften while still retaining a slight firmness.
Incorporate the pieces of chorizo. Cook for another 3 minutes, until they release their fragrant and colorful fat.
4. Add the peeled shrimp. Sauté them for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and slightly firm.

Lightly salt, generously pepper.
5. Pour the heavy cream directly into the skillet.
Mix well to coat all the ingredients.
Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add the drained spaghetti directly into the skillet.
Gently mix to coat them well with the sauce, without crushing the shrimp.
Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes for the flavors to blend perfectly.
7. Serve your spaghetti in shallow bowls, sprinkled with chopped parsley, shavings of Parmesan, or fresh basil.
Pair this dish with a glass of dry white wine (such as a Picpoul, a Côtes-du-Rhône blanc, or an Albariño).
A crisp green salad as an appetizer or some tomato bruschettas will be perfect for a complete Mediterranean meal.
