Grilled Shrimp and Chorizo Skewers image

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)

I've made these skewers several times and they're always a hit. They're easy to make, delicious, and perfect for any occasion.

These skewers are a great way to get your kids to eat seafood. My kids love the shrimp and chorizo, and they always ask for seconds.

I'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.

These skewers are the perfect appetizer or main course. They're also great for meal prep. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then I have lunch or dinner ready to go all week.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can use different types of shrimp, chorizo, and vegetables. I've even made them with chicken and beef. They're always delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the skewers turned out perfectly! The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the chorizo was nice and crispy. I served them with a side of grilled pineapple and it was a delicious meal.

These 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.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but I loved these skewers! The chorizo adds a nice smoky flavor and the marinade makes the shrimp so tender and juicy. I'll definitely be making these again.

The 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.

These skewers were a hit at my last party! The shrimp and chorizo combination is amazing, and the marinade really packs a flavor punch. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
