Totally awesome....I'm always looking for new ways to use chorizo, the recipe doesn't look that interesting but when I seen Rachel Ray's name I had a feeling there was gonna be more to it. Followed the recipe exactly, really good flavor,total yumm!

We love fried rice, so we knew we were on a good thing! I remembered to cook the rice the day before, and then its just a case of putting everything together. I used chorizo, and added peas and corn, because we enjoy extra veggies. I also gently cooked the shrimp in butter seperately, with a little cajun seasoning, because the girls were eating with us and they don't like shrimp, so I simply added it to our plates when I served. The sherry adds a lovely touch, and we very much enjoyed this twist on an old favourite! Thanks, CoffeeB!

DH said, "you must always make this exactly as you did tonight!" Right into our Top Favorites of 2009, this was worth taking a Zantac. Best fried rice dish I have ever made. No lie. Substituted Zigo yellow rice for white rice, and DH could tell the difference. Used Recipe #85473 #85473 for the chorizo. The small-medium Gulf-Coast shrimp made their statement. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, CoffeeB! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag.

This was really very nice, and easy to put together. I could not find chorizo, however, and had to substitute linguica. Also, I had extra leeks in the house, so I used them in place of the onion. The sherry really is a nice touch. I will be making this recipe again. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

Yum. DH wants this to go straight into his favourites cookbook. I think I may have used a bit more than 8 oz of chorizo. The package had 5 sausages and I used 3 of them. The shrimp were large as those were the only ones available that were already peeled. The sherry adds a wonderful flavour to the whole. I also forgot to buy cilantro but will make sure to use it next time. It would add a very desirable touch of colour. Made for 123 Hit Wonders Tag.
