Dinner for Two: Crispy Broiled Scallops and Chorizo is valentin day will be even more special with this recipe. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 15 minutes. Head to the store and pick up kosher salt, bread crumbs, chorizo, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the kosher salt you could follow this main course with the Low Fat Crumbs Cake (Kosher-Dairy) as a dessert.

Instructions

Preheat the broiler to high and adjust rack to 6-inches from element. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel. Toss scallops and chorizo with 2 teaspoons olive oil in a medium bowl and season lightly with salt. Divide mixture evenly between two broiler-safe gratin dishes or one broiler-safe 8- by 8-inch square baking dish. Toss the remaining teaspoon of olive oil with the panko and parsley (if using) in a separate bowl, then top scallop mixture with crumbs. Cover each gratin dish tightly with foil.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir

Scallops works really well with Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Pinot Noir. Chardonnay and chenin blanc are great matches for grilled or seared scallops. If your scallops are being matched with bacon or other cured meats, try a lightly chilled pinot noir. The Antica Chardonnay (Mountain Select) with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 29 dollars per bottle.
