Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

- Add the red pepper flakes and shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.

- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the shrimp and chorizo mixture, and stir to incorporate.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the Spanish garlic shrimp and chorizo to a serving dish.
