Preparation
1
Roast the Sweet Potato

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Cut the sweet potatoes widthways into 1cm thick slices.

Lay on a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

When the oven is hot, bake on the middle shelf until golden and cooked through, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

2
Make your Aji Sauce

Meanwhile, finely chop the coriander (stalks and all). Halve the red chilli lengthways, deseed, then finely chop. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the limes. 

In a small bowl, combine half the coriander, half the chilli, a third of the garlic and half the lime juice. 

Stir in the mayonnaise and olive oil for the sauce (see pantry for amount) until well combined - this is your aji sauce! Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. 

3
Fry the Chorizo

Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 1cm chunks. Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining coriander and half the remaining lime juice with the sugar and olive oil for the salsa (see pantry for both amounts). Set aside for now. 

4
Mix your Salsa

Add the pepper chunks and sweetcorn to the chorizo frying pan and cook until slightly charred, 5-6 mins. Adjust the heat if necessary.

Stir only twice during this time - you want the veg to pick up some nice colour. Add the remaining garlic and stir-fry for 30 secs. 

Transfer the chorizo mixture to the bowl of coriander dressing. Stir to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if you feel it needs it. 

5
Bake the Prawns Skewers

Next, drain the prawns. Thread the prawns onto skewers, then pop onto a large baking tray lined with foil.

Pop your skewers on the top shelf of your oven to cook for 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

6
Serve

Share the prawn skewers between your plates and spoon over the aji sauce. 

Serve with the sweet potatoes, chorizo salsa and a handful of salad leaves on the side.

Squeeze over any remaining lime juice and drizzle over some oil on the leaves to finish.

Enjoy!
