Good ingredients are the basis of this prawn and chorizo recipe, and we have the best of ingredients available. Gubbeen Farmhouse makes an excellent chorizo, as well as their range of cheeses. I saw it in Dunnes recently so you should find it easily enough too. This dish will only take you a matter of minutes.

Lamb steaks are good value and full of flavour and we have the best lamb in the world. Recently, I went on a working holiday to Bilbao, where I spent a week with Daniel Garcia in his Michelin-star restaurant, Zortziko. He has held his star for 25 years.

I had a very interesting time and was delighted to see him using our fabulous Irish lamb. There was also lots of chorizo used as antipasti there. I watched one of his chefs cook mussels, chorizo and barbecue sauce in a pot for a few minutes and it was simple and delicious.
