All the juices and oils from the chorizo ooze out while cooking, leaving the shrimp succulent and spicy.

Serves about 6

12 large shrimp
1 tablespoon harissa paste (optional)
2 chorizo sausages, about 6oz (150g) each
12 fresh bay leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 short wood or bamboo skewers, soaked in water

Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the small tail ends still attached. Rub over the harissa paste evenly and set aside. Slice the chorizo into 1/2-in (1-1/2-cm) thick slices. Place 1 chorizo slice into the crook of each shrimp and thread onto a skewer. Add a bay leaf to each skewer and refrigerate until ready to cook.

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-hot. Brush the skewers with a little olive oil and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning once, or until the shrimp are translucent and the chorizo cooked through. Serve immediately.

Makes 12 skewers.

Number of servings depend on whether you use this as a main dish, a side dish, or an appetizer.
