The (sometimes) sunny weather at home, in early August, inspired me to make this delicious smoky garlic king prawns and chorizo recipe.
Prawns and chorizo are a perfect combination and with the addition of smoked hot pimenton (or smoked paprika) and garlic, and garnished with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon, you end up with a very quick starter or tapas dish. Crusty bread is a must to soak up the flavoured oil!
Tips
- Enjoy as a starter or as part of a tapas selection.
- This smoky garlic king prawns and chorizo recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
