How to make it
- 1. Put a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta.

- 6. Add the chorizo and sherry and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- 7. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, until they begin turning opaque around the edges, about 1-1/2 minutes.
- 8. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until tomatoes soften slightly and the shrimp is fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes longer.

- You can give your pasta extra flavor by adding the shrimp/lobster shells to your pasta cooking water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, then remove the shells with a slotted spoon and discard. Add a little extra water, raise the heat to high, bring to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions.
