Scallops and Chorizo


It has been exactly one year since I made my first recipe for this blog. It feels like I've been doing this forever. I still have around 40 recipes to make so it's going to be a while yet. But crickey I've made a lot of food so far. I was hoping to be done within a year but it wasn't too long before I realized that wasn't going to happen. I have to say though that I've come a long way since that first disastrous recipe. I definitely have a greater understanding of "Nigella Talk". Perhaps it's just the difference between North American and Proper English but I've got a much better idea what Nigella means these days in regards to instructions. This Scallops and Chorizo recipe though is so straight forward that it won't matter whether you've spent the last year decoding the Brits or not. Fry sausage, remove from pan. Fry Scallops - return sausage to pan add lemon juice, let bubble, plate and garnish. Ta-dah! You've just made dinner. I bought fresh scallops as opposed to frozen and the lemon juice and parsley really compliment the natural flavour of the scallops. I'm going to pat myself on the back and say I cooked the scallops perfectly too. They were sooo good. Husband had the sausage with the scallops and when I looked over his plate was clean so I think it's safe to say he loved it. I highly recommend this to you it's a little more expensive a meal - if you're a main lander like myself - but well worth the extra pennies. Mmmmmmm yummy!
