Instructions
Cilantro Lime Sauce
- Wash and dry all produce. Add the cilantro, olive oil, garlic, and the juice of 2 limes to a food processor. Pulse until the cilantro is chopped into tiny pieces and all ingredients have combined to form a liquid like sauce.
Skewers
- Bring a large saucepan filled with water to a boil over medium high heat. Add in the chorizo sausage links and boil for 7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside until it is cool enough to handle.
- While the sausage is cooling, place the raw shrimp in a large bowl. Add the paprika, cayenne and cumin. Toss until all of the shrimps are coated.
- Once the sausage has cooled down, slice the links into 36 even rounds (each should be approx. ½” thick).
- Assemble the skewers. Take a skewer stick and thread it with one piece of pineapple followed by a shrimp then a chorizo round. Thread another pineapple, shrimp and chorizo round. Finish off with a pineapple piece.
- Repeat until all of your ingredients have been used up.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. If using a grill pan, brush on the vegetable oil. Place the skewers on top and cook approx.. 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set and set-aside until ready to serve.
- When serving, place a handful of salad greens on the plate, add skewers and top with cilantro lime sauce.
