SAWCLicious: Shrimp & Chorizo Pasta

I'm writing a post from Lisbon! I took some vacation off this week and had planned to go to Lisbon with HT Couple and Rhea. This week was busy with work, I was in all day meetings at the client site and was working during the night. Every time I go back home, I was dead tired already. Pasta is the perfect combination for a quick dinner when such situations arise. 

I was not able to go to the grocery to buy meat and my favorite broccoli. Good things I still had some food in the pantry and freezer. Taking out different ingredients that I felt will work, I whipped something out and I show you Shrimp and Chorizo pasta! While writing this post, I tried to Google and found that this recipe exist also somewhere out there. Let me share my version here.
