How to Make Scallops Black Tiger Shrimp With Chorizo Chili

  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 pound of chorizo sausage, crumbled, and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chorizo from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add 1 finely chopped onion and 1 minced garlic clove to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat). Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1/2 pound of black tiger shrimp and 1/2 pound of sea scallops to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until shrimp is pink and opaque and scallops are cooked through.
  5. Stir in the cooked chorizo. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with your favorite sides like rice or crusty bread.
