Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow potato, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3-4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 bunch kale, washed and stemmed
  • ⅓ lb shrimp, cleaned, shelled, and cut in half
  • ½ dried spicy chorizo sausage, cut into thin disks
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • Parsley
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high and fry garlic and onions until soft (about 5 min).
  2. Add the potatoes, a pinch of salt, and fry for another 5 min stirring so that the potatoes don't stick to the bottom.
  3. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and cover and simmer until potatoes are tender.
  4. Meanwhile, cut the kale into thin strips.
  5. Once the potatoes are done, mash them with the back of a wooden spoon.
  6. Stir in the kale and shrimp and simmer uncovered until both are done (about 3-4 min).
  7. Add the chorizo and pepper to taste, and adjust salt.
  8. Garnish with parsley and serve.
