    Nice, but seemed more like two separate recipes on one plate. Scallops and chorizo is always a brilliant combination, and the parsley and pepper salad was ok, but they didn't seem to go together. Would happily eat either again, but not at the same time.

    I used a mixture of olive oil, balsamic & lemon juice in the dressing & cooked the shallot briefly, I added some green parts of spring onions & it was just perfect!

    I'm Spanish and have never seen this in Spain before but gave it a try. It's a bit of a crazy concoction really, the chorizo ends up soaking the dressing and the final result is a bit strange.

    I accidently got Scallops out of the freezer thinking it was Chicken breast so have been searching for recipes to cook tomorrow, this recipe has had some really good comments so will be cooking this dish tomorrow. Will be giving my feed back too!
