Method

Preparation

Gather all your ingredients on the counter.
Chop your bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and your favorite spices like paprika or cumin, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
If using shrimp or chorizo, add them now and cook until shrimp is pink or chorizo is browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Toss in the remaining vegetables and a splash of broth or wine, letting everything simmer together for 10 minutes.
Transfer the tapas to a serving dish, garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
Serve warm and enjoy!
