Serving Suggestions
Although I ate this dish without side dishes, I think it would go really well with a fresh green salad. Pairing it with a citrus-based dressing would elevate the fish and keep the leaves light.

Callie’s Review and Tips
I adored this meal and must give it a solid 4/5. For under 500 calories, it is a great meal that balances nutrients with a hearty meal that fills you. The flavors from the ingredients come through; a bite with chorizo invigorates the palate.
You can substitute a cup of stock for white wine (I declined to lower the overall calories). I also used salad shrimp rather than large shrimp as they were on sale!
