Ingredients
12 medium sized shrimp, de-veined

Lime and/or bitter orange juice
4 - 6 skewer sticks
12 baby potatoes, with skin
5 chorizo of any flavour
1 tablespoon olive oil

Lime for garnish
Directions
1. Marinate Shrimp
Place the shrimp in bowl and marinate for 30 minutes in lime or bitter orange juice and garlic.
2. Soak Skewer Sticks
Place the skewer sticks in water for 30 minutes. This allows for easier sliding of the ingredients and helps prevent burning during grilling.

Slice the raw chorizos into one-inch pieces. Drizzle the oil onto a separate frying pan and add the cut up chorizo until fully cooked

6. Grill
Place the skewers on a barbeque grill on high heat until the shrimp is cooked.
