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:
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium high heat.
- Place shrimp in shallow dish and season with salt, lemon juice and a liberal drizzle of olive oil, just enough to coat the shrimp. Skewer 4 shrimp alternating with 4 slices of chorizo on each skewer.
- Place palmful of parsley on cutting board with the lemon zest. Add 1/2 palmful of cilantro leaves to the pile as well as 1 clove of garlic. Finely chop mixture and reserve for sprinkling over shrimp and gazpacho.
- Place remaining herbs and garlic in a food processor or large blender with peppers, tomatoes, chopped vegetables, bread and hot sauce and proceed until smooth.
- Grill shrimp and chorizo 3-4 minutes on each side until shrimp is firm and opaque. Serve small bowls of gazpacho with shrimp skewers resting across the top of bowls for dipping and dunking.
- Garnish with reserved parsley, cilantro and garlic mixture.
