Steps:
- Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two-thirds of coals on two-thirds of grill and scatter remaining coals over remaining area; for a gas grill, set one burner to medium-low heat and the remaining burners to medium-high heat).
- Make the Sour Cream Sauce
- Purée sour cream, cilantro, mayonnaise, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a blender until smooth; chill until ready to use.
- Do Ahead: Sour cream sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
- Make the Dressing
- Whisk oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, honey, and salt in a large bowl.
- Grill and Assemble
- Toss shrimp, chili powder, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
- Grill cabbage wedges over direct heat, turning occasionally, until deeply charred on cut surfaces and crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, grill sausages over indirect heat, turning often, until nicely charred and cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Lightly oil grill grate. Place asparagus onto grill, orienting them perpendicular to grate so they don't fall through the gaps. Grill, turning often, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to platter alongside sausages, leaving remaining dressing in bowl.
- Oil grate again if needed, then grill shrimp over direct heat, turning often, until lightly charred and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to platter with sausage.
- Slice charred cabbage wedges lengthwise into 1/4"-thick strips, then toss with remaining dressing; season with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Add to platter.

GRILLED SHRIMP AND CHORIZO SKEWERS
This is a Rachael Ray 30 Minute Meals recipe that has been a staple of mine for a year or so. Includes a recipe for piquillo gazpacho to serve on the side. (Note: I have always used soft chorizo in place of the cured and "grilled" it on a stovetop grill pan and it turns out fine, though be sure to really compact it so they don't fall off)

Steps:
- Using a meat mallet, pound the skirt steak out thinly. Cut the steak into 1-1/2 inch strips and skewer on wooden skewers. Skewer the shrimp in a similar fashion on additional skewers. Each skewer should contain only a single piece of food to be grilled.
- Cut the sausage into diagonal slices and also skewer. Place the skewered meats onto platters and lightly marinate in olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to cook. Marinate not longer than overnight.
- Prepare the chimichurri dipping sauce:
- Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a large bowl, mix well and set aside. Make the chimichurri well in advance of cooking. (It can be prepared 3 days in advance and kept refrigerated for up to a week.)
- Prepare a medium-hot fire on a well-oiled outdoor grill or indoor stove-top grill pan. Carefully drain all excess oil from the skewered meats and fish, and season with salt and pepper. Cook each skewered anticucho for 2-3 minutes or until charred and fully cooked.
- Serve the anticuchos on a platter, drizzle chimichurri over the top or serve separately.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should be firm and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
- Use high-quality chorizo. Spanish chorizo is a great option, but you can also use Mexican chorizo if you prefer a spicier flavor.
- Marinate the shrimp and chorizo before grilling. This will help to tenderize the shrimp and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs.
- Soak the skewers in water before grilling. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Grill the shrimp and chorizo over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
- Baste the shrimp and chorizo with marinade or melted butter while grilling. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the shrimp and chorizo skewers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chimichurri sauce or aioli.
Conclusion:
Grilled shrimp and chorizo skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your grilled shrimp and chorizo skewers are perfectly cooked and flavorful.
