Prawn and chorizo skewers with quick mojo verde

Prawn and chorizo skewers with quick mojo verde

  • Step 1

    To make the mojo verde, add the coriander leaves and stems, garlic, sugar, vinegar, and cumin to the bowl of a food processor with a good lug of olive oil to loosen the mixture. Give it a quick blitz to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning. If it’s too thick, add a little more olive oil. Set aside.

  • Step 2

    Add the prawns, paprika, sugar and ground spices to a bowl and give everything a quick toss so that the prawns are completely coated.

  • Step 3

    Thread the prawns and sliced chorizo onto skewers, alternating.

  • Step 4

    Heat a barbecue or char-grill pan to medium-high heat and grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the prawns are opaque and just cooked and the chorizo is cooked through (2-4 minutes).

  • Step 5

    Transfer the skewers to a serving plate. Scoop over the mojo verde and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Eat piping hot.
