Description

Bright, smoky, and dangerously easy to eat, these prawn and chorizo skewers bring bold Spanish flavors to any gathering.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) prawns (16–20 count)
  • 8 oz (225 g) Spanish chorizo
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp flaky salt
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon


Instructions

  1. Peel and devein the prawns, leaving tails on if desired.
  2. Slice chorizo into 1/4-inch coins.
  3. Toss prawns with olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, flaky salt, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice; marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  4. Thread prawns and chorizo alternately on soaked or metal skewers.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F/200°C).
  6. Grill skewers for 2–3 minutes per side until chorizo is crisp and prawns are opaque.
  7. Rest for 2 minutes, then finish with a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Use metal skewers for best results.
