Heat oil and butter in a large skillet, over medium high heat. Place the shrimp in a single layer, season with sweet paprika, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sear for 1 minute. Flip and sear the other side, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
Add chorizo to the skillet, cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic, sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Next, add bell pepper, cook for 5 minutes, until it starts to soften. Stir in tomato paste and add bay leaf. Season with oregano, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes and the remaining salt and black pepper.
Pour in chicken broth, stir to combine and bring to a boil. Place corn in the skillet and let everything simmer for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with lemon juice, add shrimp back to the skillet and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to your own taste. Finish off with chopped chives.
