Portuguese Prawn and Chorizo

I am posting this recipe today, it is simple, quick, easy and light. You could add more to it to make it a more substantial meal, but my hubby was going away on business and prefers a light meal before he goes away. I am about to start posting more on the boards, so please check in from time to time I am so excited about these boards and once you read what I have to say, I can only hope you share the same enthusiasm.

You can check out some of my boards on my natures cutting boards page, these are just sample pictures and the ones on my official website are in much more detail and on a better back ground. This is just to give you an idea and as soon as my site is done I will be posting the address here so keep checking in.
