    I'd been wanting to try this recipe for ages and finally got a chance to try it out last night. I was serving it for 9 so in order to make it easier, I tossed the peppers, parsley and shallots in with the chorizo once it had finished cooking and then served that in the middle of the plate with scallops round the edge - a definite success.

    Easy meal, and very enjoyable. Made it with some spuds and drizzled some of the shallots and mix over. Well nice.

    Are you supposed to cook the shallot? There is no mention of what you do with the sherry vinegar and onion. I guess it is a dressing but you should not have to guess. Also its a bit vague about the red pepper and parsley, toss it ok, but it is a shame to put wet soggy cold peppers on your dish!!!!????

    This is a fantastic recipe. I made it for my friends and they were suitably impressed. I cooked the chorizo first with the shallot and then added the scallops. This gave the scallops a delicious, peppery smoky taste and my friend gave me the tip of scorring the scallops in a noughts and crosses formation which enabled the scallops to cook well without getting the rubbery texture.

    I made the full amount for two as a main served with the spanish pot's (also on this site) and it was beautiful! Had my heart on this for dinner tonight and the supermarket didn't have scallops so used king prawns and it was as if it was meant to be.
