Scallops with sweet & spicy pepper sauce

Step 3 Cook the Chorizo & Scallops

Preparing the Scallops & Chorizo:

1. If they're in the shell you will need to open them and take them out
2. remove the coral and the grey membrane around the main meat (the corals can be saved to use for a sauce, if you like)
3. Rinse the scallop meats under a running tap then pat dry with kitchen paper
4. Chop the Chorizo into small dice, or fine discs
5. Feed the scraps to your cat if she's hassling you for attenton/food

Cooking the meat:

1. Put some oil and butter into the frying pan over a medium high heat (the oil will stop the butter burning to quickly)
2. Add the chorizo and fry until the oils are released and the chorizo is starting to brown, then remove the chorizo and drain on kitchen paper.
3. In the same pan you now add the Scallops to the oil, which is now flavoured with the Chorizo. Fry the Scallops for 30secs-2mins on each side, depending how well cooked you like them. don't overcook them, or they will be like little rubber bullets.

That's it, we're ready to serve up!
