71 - Chorizo and Prawn Tapa [Chorizo ​​y Tapas Gambas]


Ooohhh...what's this? Wait. Hold the phone. What IS this. Yes this. What? That. That glowing ball in the sky. Could it be... at last....a summery day! [stares at sky for a minute blinking] . Nods. Indeed. QUICK. I demand we go to the beach at once! 

As life is proving to be relentless and its onto another move and another [secondary] job and another home I have managed to leave my Tapas book behind in home #2. Nevermind I can pick it up soon and the internet and imagination/ resourcefulness fixes all. This one was created on one of my favourite beaches at a much needed picnic. So I was schlumpy from work and shattered after the pervious late night's work involving a laptop which fell out with a 3D mesh (grrr..Maya) but a picnic on a beach was called for and it was very fun. Muchos Gracias Brillantes Uno! 

The Verdict:
Seaside surf and turf. Nothing like a bit of sand to add an extra texture/ dimension to a meal. This was such a fun adventure and needed a dish which was equally as spontaneous and exciting. A simple tapa (with epic flavours) was required and this did not disappoint. I raised eyebrows when adding the jalepenos but the mozzarella and prawn completely balanced the dish out. Tasty, insane (and slightly sandy). 

Taste : 3.5/5 Oooh
Time :  5/5 3 mins
Visual : 3/5 Ad Hoc
Magic : 3.5/5 Yups

Also...sand skeleton...
