Shadow Complex - the drink

Not that I encourage silly drinks or anything... but we (my friends and I) have a habit of making game themed drinks, and some of them turn out ok!

The Shadow Complex is particularly interesting :)

In a tumbler mix:

1 shot Martini
1 shot Fisk
1/2 QC Cream

Mix, and the fill to the brim with Coke, then mix again.

Inspired by the game of the same name.

Tangy Chorizo and Prawn Salad

So this is a nice summer dish, good for those light dinners if you - like me - don't want to feel too full of an evening!

Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

1 pack of cooked, peeled Prawns
1/2 a lime
1/2 tub of salsa (optional)
1/2 Chorizo sausage
1 pack of Salad (something a bit peppery)
Salt
Black Pepper
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar


To Prepare:

1. Slice the Chorizo into small (1/2 cm) slices, and add to a medium hot, dry pan. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes (until crisp on one side) then turn over. Cook for another minute.

2. Add the prawns. Cook until warmed through (1 minute)

3. Grind the Black Pepper over it, add the half tub of Salsa and squeeze the juice of 1/2 a Lime over it all.

4. Mix and warm through for 1 minute. Set aside.

5. Prepare the salad in a bowl, with a tiny amount of Olive Oil, Salt, Black Pepper and Balsamic Vinegar drizzled over ital and mixed in.

6. Chuck the Chorizo/Prawn/Lime mix over the salad, mix it up.

7. Tuck in!

Food and Drink

I'll be posting about food and drink here, as well as any of my own recipes I'd recommend, and cocktails too... most of those will be game-themed I'd reckon!
