SCALLOPS AND CHEDDAR GRITS WITH CHORIZO



Scallops and Cheddar Grits with Chorizo image

The first time I had the Southern classic shrimp and grits was on set during the filming of Top Chef in Miami, brilliantly prepared by Dallas-based chef Tre Wilcox in a taco truck. I've been hooked ever since. Here, the same idea, but with sea scallops--also a sweet shellfish, and one that needs no peeling or deveining. Scallops are particularly friendly with salty, spicy pork, whether it's fancy Italian ham, good old bacon, or, in this case, the spicy Spanish sausage that rounds out this dish.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
3/4 cup grits
6 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (1 1/2 cups)
16 sea scallops, trimmed of tough muscle flap (if present)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 link (about 4 ounces) cooked, Spanish-style chorizo, casing removed, cut into matchsticks or just crumbled
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions (white and green parts)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring 3 1/2 cups water to a boil, and add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly stir the grits into the water, pouring the grits in a fine stream. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the Cheddar, cover, and keep warm in the oven.
  • Ten minutes into cooking the grits, pat dry the scallops, season them with salt and pepper on both sides, and heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan, then the chorizo, and cook until the sausage renders some fat, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallops, shake the pan to move them around a little, and sear for 2 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until browned, 2 minutes. Remove the scallops and chorizo to a plate lined with a paper towel.
  • Reduce the heat under the pan to medium, and add the scallions, garlic, and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes, and remove from the heat.
  • On each of 4 plates, make a bed of grits, then place the scallops on top, and drizzle pan sauce and chorizo on and around the scallops and grits. Serve quickly.

SCALLOPS AND CHORIZO



Scallops and Chorizo image

I've long been a fan of scallops and bacon, and scallops with chili, and this is my combination of the two using chorizo - the sausage, not the salame - to ooze its paprika-hot orange oil over the sweet white scallops. It's quicker than the speed of light to make and quite as dazzling.

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ounces chorizo sausage, cut in 1/8-inch rounds
1 pound small scallops (halve them to make 2 thinner disks if they are very fat)
1/2 lemon, juiced
4 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Put a pan on to get hot and then dry-fry (the chorizo will give out plenty of its own oil) the chorizo until crisped on either side; this should take no more than 2 minutes.
  • Remove the chorizo to a bowl and fry the scallops in the chorizo oil for about 1 minute a side.
  • Return the chorizo to the pan with the scallops, add the lemon juice and let bubble for a few seconds before arranging on a serving plate and sprinkling with lots of parsley.

SCALLOPS, BLACK TIGER SHRIMP WITH CHORIZO CHILI



Scallops, Black Tiger Shrimp With Chorizo Chili image

I saw an ad advertising dinner plates and it had the classic dish of diver scallops and shrimp. I was immediately inspired to use that classic combo and make it a "Surf N' Turf" dish by combining with with either beef, pork, or chicken and that's how this item was born. Let me know what you think!

Time 20m

Yield 2 plates, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 ounces pork, chorizo
2 ounces black beans (canned, reserve some of the liquid)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced onion
2 teaspoons sweet potatoes (cooked, cut into small cubes)
2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes
2 teaspoons bell peppers (cut into small cubes)
2 teaspoons pureed mangoes
1 teaspoon chili paste
2 teaspoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
6 diver scallops
6 medium shrimp (deveined & shelled)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
2 ounces white wine

Steps:

  • In a saute' pan cook chorizo until it begins to get firm.
  • Add remaining vegetables and black beans. Use some of the bean liquid to thin out the mixture. You want to have a pourable consistency. This should take about 5 minutes.
  • Add mango puree and asian chili paste.
  • In a separate pan, melt butter, then add scallops. Do not shake pan. The scallops must develop a crust before turning over. About 2-3 minutes.
  • Add shrimp. When it's time to turn the scallops over, it'll be time for the shrimp to be turned as well. You want the shrimp to be orange with slight charring.
  • Carefully add the wine. It should sizzle, then bubble and mix with the flavors of the scallops and shrimp.
  • Press on scallops to check doneness. It should be slightly resistant.
  • Take a tablespoon and scoop out about 3 ounces of the chili mixture onto each plate.
  • Top with micro mint greens.
  • Add 3 Scallops in a triangle pattern.
  • Intermix with 3 shrimp. Drizzle juices from seafood pan over the diah.
