Soup: in the blender, purée tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, sherry vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt and pepper. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Shell and devein shrimp. Cut chorizo into as many slices as there are shrimp. Heat a large dry skillet and fry the chorizo slices on one side. Turn them over and add the shrimp. There should be enough fat from the chorizo to cook the shrimp - if not, add some oil. Cook shrimp about 2 minutes per side. Serve chilled soup with vegetable garnish and warm chorizo and 3 shrimp per person.
