Directions

Prep 15 minCook 45 min

1
Heat the olive oil in a small Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, 10–12 minutes.
2
Stir in the chorizo, paprika, and about half of the salt; cook until fragrant and the oil is tinted red, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano; cook 1 minute more.
3
Add the potato, water, and remaining salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until the potato is almost tender, about 15 minutes.
4
Stir in the kale and continue simmering, uncovered if needed, until the potato and kale are tender, about 10 minutes.
5
Add the shrimp and simmer just until they curl and turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or paprika as desired, then ladle into bowls and serve hot.
