Scallops and Chorizo image

I've long been a fan of scallops and bacon, and scallops with chili, and this is my combination of the two using chorizo - the sausage, not the salame - to ooze its paprika-hot orange oil over the sweet white scallops. It's quicker than the speed of light to make and quite as dazzling.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings as a main course with the rocket and chickpeas th

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ounces chorizo sausage, cut in 1/8-inch rounds
1 pound small scallops (halve them to make 2 thinner disks if they are very fat)
1/2 lemon, juiced
4 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Put a pan on to get hot and then dry-fry (the chorizo will give out plenty of its own oil) the chorizo until crisped on either side; this should take no more than 2 minutes.
  • Remove the chorizo to a bowl and fry the scallops in the chorizo oil for about 1 minute a side.
  • Return the chorizo to the pan with the scallops, add the lemon juice and let bubble for a few seconds before arranging on a serving plate and sprinkling with lots of parsley.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish was a complete failure.

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The scallops were rubbery and the chorizo was tasteless.

This dish was a disappointment. The scallops were tough and the chorizo was greasy.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to give it more flavor.

The scallops were a little overcooked, but the chorizo was still good.

This was my first time cooking scallops, and they turned out great. The recipe was easy to follow, and the scallops were cooked perfectly.

I made this dish for a party, and everyone loved it. The scallops were plump and juicy, and the chorizo added a nice smoky flavor.
