1 generous handful flat-leaf parsley
1 generous handful cilantro leaves
2 cloves garlic, cracked from skin
1 jar piquillo, Spanish roasted peppers - available in most markets, roasted red peppers may be substituted,
about 1 cup packed, drained
1 can (28-ounces) fire-roasted tomatoes, diced or crushed
1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped

Instructions

Preheat grill or grill pan over medium high heat.

Place shrimp in shallow dish and season with salt, lemon juice and a liberal drizzle on extra-virgin olive
oil, just enough to coat the shrimp. Skewer 4 shrimp alternating with 4 slices of chorizo on each skewer.

Place 2 tablespoons, a palm full, of parsley on the cutting board with the lemon zest. Add 1/2 palm full of
cilantro leaves to the pile as well as 1 clove of garlic. Finely chop this mixture and reserve for sprinkling
over shrimp and gazpacho.

Place remaining herbs and garlic in the food processor or a large blender with peppers, tomatoes, chopped
vegetables, bread and hot sauce and process until smooth.

Grill shrimp and chorizo 3 to 4 minutes on each side until shrimp is firm and opaque. Serve small bowls of
gazpacho with shrimp skewers resting across the top of the bowls for dipping and dunking. Garnish with
reserved parsley, cilantro and garlic mixture.
