Laura Santtini's Chili Garlic Shrimp Salad

I love this delicious summer salad. The chili and chorizo sausage give the dish a tasty heat which brings out the sweetness of the shrimp. Tossing the warm sauce with the arugula makes it wilt slightly so all the ingredients come together to make a tasty, zesty dish perfect to eat outside with a glass of something chilled!
