Bring stock to the boil in a saucepan. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook for 1 minute each side or until golden brown.

Add the prawns and cook, turning occasionally, for 2 minutes or until prawns curl and change colour. Transfer to a bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Increase heat to medium-high.
