What You Need

2 plum tomatoes, halved
2 sausages, your choice
2 cups (500 ml) chicken broth

Preheat grill to medium.

In a large cast-iron skillet or in an aluminum dish, melt butter and sauté garlic.

Add broth and paprika to skillet, and season to taste. Bring to a boil.

    I would add about 16 large shrimp (4 oer person) to this recipe along with 250 grams of Smoked Gouda instead of regular.
