Chorizo and Prawns Skewers with a Creamy Lemon Dip
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon mayonaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- white pepper
- 1 chorizo sausage the raw kind from the deli
- 8 large raw shrimp/prawns
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
- pinch cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice and a pinch of white pepper. Cover and leave in the fridge until you serve the skewers.
- Slice the ends off the chorizo and then slice the sausage into thick disks.
- Place the chorizo slices into a cold frying pan. (add the ends too as a cooks perk 😉)
- Turn on the heat and allow the sausages to cook, crispy and ooze out the delicious paprika spiked oil.
- Once the chorizo is crispy on each side, a matter of 2 minutes a side, remove it from the pan but keep the orange oil ready to fry the shrimp/prawns.
- Cook the shrimp/prawns for 2-3 minutes until cooked through and tinged with chorizo oil.
- Use mini skewers or cocktails sticks to secure a piece of chorizo to each shrimp/prawn.
- Place on a serving platter, drizzle over an remaining oil, serve with a generous sprinkling of chopped parsley and the lemon dip.
- The cayenne pepper is optional and I don't always add it. Sometimes I sprinkle it over the dip.
