GRILLED SHRIMP AND CHORIZO SKEWERS
This is a Rachael Ray 30 Minute Meals recipe that has been a staple of mine for a year or so. Includes a recipe for piquillo gazpacho to serve on the side. (Note: I have always used soft chorizo in place of the cured and "grilled" it on a stovetop grill pan and it turns out fine, though be sure to really compact it so they don't fall off)

Steps:
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium high heat.
- Place shrimp in shallow dish and season with salt, lemon juice and a liberal drizzle of olive oil, just enough to coat the shrimp. Skewer 4 shrimp alternating with 4 slices of chorizo on each skewer.
- Place palmful of parsley on cutting board with the lemon zest. Add 1/2 palmful of cilantro leaves to the pile as well as 1 clove of garlic. Finely chop mixture and reserve for sprinkling over shrimp and gazpacho.
- Place remaining herbs and garlic in a food processor or large blender with peppers, tomatoes, chopped vegetables, bread and hot sauce and proceed until smooth.
- Grill shrimp and chorizo 3-4 minutes on each side until shrimp is firm and opaque. Serve small bowls of gazpacho with shrimp skewers resting across the top of bowls for dipping and dunking.
- Garnish with reserved parsley, cilantro and garlic mixture.

j@aol.comI'm not a fan of grilling, but these skewers are so worth the effort! They're so flavorful and juicy. I usually cook them in a grill pan on the stovetop, but they're even better when grilled outdoors.

s.r@hotmail.comThese skewers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them! He said they were the best shrimp skewers he's ever had. I'll probably use less chili powder next time I make them.

k-h79@yahoo.comThe marinade for these skewers is out of this world! It's tangy, savory, and slightly spicy. The shrimp and chorizo soak up all the flavor and cook to perfection on the grill.
