Prawn and chorizo sausage skewersJennifer Soo

Time:1-2 hours

Something on a skewer makes great eating when standing and these are the only menu item that needs to be cooked at the last minute.

Ingredients

20 long skewers
5 chorizo sausages
60 large green olives, pitted
40 medium raw prawns, peeled, tails left on
Sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper

Method

Preheat barbecue to hot. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning. Peel and cut each chorizo into 8 round slices. Grill or fry each side for 1 minute.
Skewer one olive then skewer a prawn around a chorizo slice. Repeat the process then do the same with the other 19 skewers. Season with salt and pepper, brush with a little vegetable oil and grill on the barbecue for 2 minutes each side or until prawns are just cooked.
Serves 20: 1 skewer each
