Prawns And Chorizo
- 2 chorizo sausage sliced into thin pieces, Note 8
- 500 grams/1 pound prawns Note 9
Instructions
- Parsley: trim the stems from the parsley (discard) and then use a glass and kitchen scissors to finely chop.
- Skewers: add the skewers to a large baking dish and pour in enough water to cover. Then let them soak as you take the other recipe steps.
- Marinade: gather the marinade ingredients and then add the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, chilli, salt and pepper to the chopped parsley and use a mini whisk to stir and combine.
- Chorizo: use a knife and cutting board to slice the chorizo into thin pieces.
- Thread: drain the water from the skewers, then start to thread the skewers with a pieces of chorizo pierced horizontally. Then fold one of the prawns into a c shape and pierce the base and top of the c. Next add another chorizo piece, folded prawn and a final piece of chorizo. Then repeat until all of the skewers are threaded and the ingredients are used up.
- Cook: place a large non stick frying pan onto the stove top and turn the heat to high. Lay 4-5 of the skewers in the base of the pan in a flat layer. Cook the skewers for 2-3 minutes (basting with with leftover sauce) then flip to the other side and cook the 2nd side for 2-3 minutes. Once the skewers are cooked, remove them and place them on a paper towel lined plate whilst you cook the remaining skewers.
- To serve: plate the skewers on a serving platter with some flat leaf parsley and lemon wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
- Note 1 - Parsley: this is a beautiful fresh herb that elevates the freshness factor in the recipe. We use kitchen scissors to chop it.
- Note 2- Olive oil: the olive oil helps to form the marinade or sauce that we cover the prawns in before we thread them onto the skewers.
- Note 3 - White wine vinegar: fresh and bright. The white wine vinegar is used to flavour the sauce that we coat the prawns in.
- Note 4 - Worcestershire sauce: this is a fantastic sauce that brings a little oomph to recipes.
- Note 5 - Garlic: garlic and prawns is a match made in heaven. A delicate pairing that works to help each ingredient shine on its own.
- Note 7 - Chilli: a little of this goes a long way! Hence we only need a small amount of chilli in the recipe.
- Note 8 - Salt and pepper: we use salt and a little bit of black pepper for seasoning in the recipe. Cooking salt (kosher salt) is the best type to use.
- Note 9 - Chorizo: this is a sausage that is made from pork and known for being a little bit spicy. It is excellent to use in pasta, pizza, paella and risottos.
- Note 10 - Prawns: also known as shrimp in some parts of the world. We want to use fresh seafood that we peel and devein ourselves. Doing so truly gives the best flavor and tasty results 😁👍.
