DIRECTIONS
In saucepan, heat olive oil and saute vegetables in order listed until softened and liquid reduced, about 10 minutes
Add chorizo to saucepan and cook until fully browned. Remove small amount of chorizo and set aside to top sauce at the end.
Reduce heat and add stock and cream to saucepan. Mix well and bring to simmer. Add tomato paste and mix well. Add pepper and salt, to taste.
In another pot, boil water for pasta. Add pasta to boiling water and cook, according to package directions. (Time this, so the pasta will be ready just as the shrimp are ready.)
While pasta is boiling, add shrimp to original saucepan. Add vermouth and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turn pink.
Add reserved chorizo reserved on top of mixture.
Put sauce in serving bowl. Garnish with cracked black pepper, nutmeg and chives for color.
Drain pasta and place in separate serving bowl.
Allow guests to spoon sauce over pasta.
Serves 8.
