Portuguese piri-piri sauces and dry spice rubs are rife with heat and zesty flavour. While piri-piri is made from a variety of ingredients, it's the fiery chili and fresh citrus that really stand out. These kabobs make everything sizzle.

Ingredients
Method
In microwaveable dish, cover and microwave potatoes on high until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix piri-piri spice rub with oil. Spoon 1 tbsp of piri-piri mixture into small bowl; stir in honey and up to 1 tbsp warm water to make glaze;
set aside.
Add cooled potatoes to large bowl with piri-piri mixture. Add shrimp; toss to coat. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.) Alternately thread shrimp, potatoes, chorizo and red onion onto 12 metal or soaked wooden skewers.
Place kabobs on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until shrimp are pink, 4 to 5 minutes. Brush with reserved piri-piri glaze; sprinkle with chives (if using). Serve with lime wedges.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: Chorizo sausage is already cured, so it just needs to be reheated on the barbecue.
