Scallops And Chorizo

I was born in a hometown that has many beaches, which also means that we have a lot of kind of seafood. In my city, it is just amazing the way how fresh seafood are grilled or mixed with mustard. To be honest, I'm not big fan of seafood and I haven't gotten an opportunity to try any kind of them, which is the reason why today, I want to experience a new dish that is called 'Scallop' mixed with Chorizo - one kind of sausage. I just feel super curious about whether or not Canada has other ways to taste this kind of seafood. Going to super market and then seeking ingredients, I realized that I don’t have so many choices except salad and spaghetti. Therefore, If you find yourself fed up with the old-fashioned way, I can guarantee that sausage will not fail to impress you at all!

INGREDIENTS:

• 150 grams Chorizo

• 500 grams small scallops

• Juice of ½ lemon

• 6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

METHOD:

1. Before cooking, sliced the chorizo into rounds shapely to prevent it curling up during frying and ensure that no thicker than 3mm/1.8 inch.

2. Turn on the stove and heating the pan. When it’s hot enough, bring the Chorizo and fry it until crisp both sides. Don’t let it burn and estimate the time nearly 2 minutes.

3. Remove the Chorizo to a bowl and continue use this oil to fry scallops.

4. Bring back the Chorizo to the pan and then add the lemon juice. Let it bubble for a few seconds and don’t forget to sprinkle lots of parsley before turning off the pan.

As I said before, I haven't tried scallop before so that it was quite different for me when I tasted it. But I wouldn't say no with it. Most importantly, it is undeniable that the advantage of using lemon juice plays a very important role, it balances the greasy from the Chorizo and the freshness from the scallops, which altogether created a very simple yet interesting combination between meat and seafood (sausage and scallop). Moreover, the color of it is very blended, with green, red and white. Especially, the smell of the parsley makes you keep biting it. I suggest you should mix it with a bow of rice in order to completely change your taste. Keep in mind that an overuse of lemon would break the taste of the dish!
