Shrimp and Mussel Stew with Chorizo Navarre

We’re proud of our skillets’ high walls and domed, self-basting lid – both of which make room for this stew to simmer. Created by Olympia Provisions chef Alex Yoder, this dish gets an incredibly savory, slightly-spicy richness from OP’s famed Chorizo Navarre.

Shrimp and Mussel Stew with Chorizo Navarre

Ingredients

  • ¼ C Olive Oil
  • 5 oz Olympia Provisions Chorizo Navarre, halved & cut crosswise into 1” lengths
  • ½ tsp crushed chilies
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • ¼ C dry white wine

Preparation

  1. Season the shrimp on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a 12″ FINEX Cast Iron Skillet, combine the olive oil and chorizo and cook over medium heat until the fat has begun to render out of the chorizo (About 4 minutes).
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool 30 seconds. Add the crushed chilies and garlic and stir to combine.
  4. Return the skillet to the heat and add the white wine and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and add the shrimp, mussels, and butter.
