Recipes Scallops And Chorizo
These are tasty little nibbles I make to have with drinks before dinner. For two people I’d make six, which is the right number mainly because it’s how many fit comfortably in my small frying pan. If there are more people, I still make them six at a time and do a few batches so everyone can enjoy them while they’re still hot. As you’ll see, you can fit them to any size crowd.
They’re impossibly, ridiculously simple to make and only take two minutes, so it’s a very easy bit of stove-top work while people gather and relax into the evening. The combination of spicy chorizo and luxurious scallop, offset with a tiny hit of coriander, provides a perfect little flavour bomb without overstepping the mark. While they belong in the canapé camp, they’re substantial enough that with a few of them you could dispense with a proper first course altogether and take this more casual approach instead.
You can arm your guests with a fork each, or abandon cutlery and go with toothpicks to skewer them (the appetisers, that is – not your guests).
