Scallops and Chorizo Recipe with Pine Nuts

Classic Spanish Chorizo and Scallops Recipe adapted to Southern California Flavors

This is my spin on the classic Spanish recipe, adopted with a Southern California-Mexican influence. The key to this dish is high quality chorizo and fresh scallops. If you are in Southern California, I recommend you go to Ochoa’s Chorizo store for their chorizo to use in this recipe.
