Crazy right? Indeed. My line of though was like this: If I get chorizos and Manzanilla Olives (from Spain); use Pesto and basil (from Italy); Salsa (from Mexico), and add shrimp loaded with spices, then I can come up with a mix of flavors that people will enjoy as hors d’ oeuvres at a party. BOOM!

  • Remove the casing of the chorizos and cut slice under half an inch.
  • Sauté the chorizo slices at med-high until crispy golden, remove set aside over paper towel.
  • In the same chorizo oil, add the shrimp and cook just until they turn pink, remove from the skillet quickly and allow to cool down.
  • Meantime, prepare your containers by adding 1-1/2 tbsp. Pesto to 6 containers and 12 tbsp. (2 per serving cup) of organic salsa to the other 6 containers.
  • Add 1 Manzanilla Olives to each container.
  • Pass a toothpick through the shrimp, the chorizo slice and end on the shrimp tail to secure it. Place one in each container, add a basil leave and a small slice of lemon to the rim of the container.
