PRAWN AND CHORIZO CAKES WITH TOMATO SALSA



Prawn and Chorizo Cakes With Tomato Salsa image

Flavoursome prawn and chorizo cakes served with a tomato salsa from Better Homes and Gardens, found online, but lots of people I've cooked for would love this - which is what drew my attention to it. From Wikipedia: In commercial farming and fishery, the terms prawn and shrimp are generally used interchangeably. In European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, the word "prawns" is far more common on menus than the term "shrimp", which is generally only used in North America. The term "prawn" is also loosely used to describe any large shrimp, especially those that come 15 (or fewer) to the pound (also called "king prawns"). Australia and other Commonwealth countries including South Africa follow this European/British use to an even greater extent, using the word "prawn" almost exclusively. In Spain, gambas al ajillo (translated to garlic prawns) is a popular dish with both the locals and tourists, traditionally served as tapas.
