SCALLOPS, BLACK TIGER SHRIMP WITH CHORIZO CHILI

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.

SEAFOOD PASTA WITH SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS (AND GARLIC!)

Steps:

• Soak the scallops for 10 minutes in a brine solution (3 Tbsp Kosher salt in 16 oz water.)
• Remove after 10 minutes and place on a rack to dry.
• Next, put a large pot of well salted water on to boil for the pasta. Once the pasta goes in, set a timer for 7 minutes before the pasta will be ready (according to package instructions.)
• Make sure the scallops are dry. If they are not, pat them dry with a paper towel. When the timer goes off, put a large cast iron pan on high heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.
• When the pan and oil are very hot, add the scallops and sear them for about 1 1/2 minutes before adding the shrimp, garlic, and parsley.
• Cook for another 2 minutes, then turn the scallops and shrimp and cook for a further 1 1/2 minutes. Next, add the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan; turn the heat down just to keep it warm.
• Add the butter and stir to melt. Add some freshly ground black pepper, if desired, then taste the sauce or a piece of seafood and add salt if needed.
• Drain the pasta, which should be ready, but reserve a cup or so of pasta water. You will only need this pasta water if you want to add some after mixing everything together. Add the pasta directly to the seafood sauce in the pan.
• Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients together. Add some of the reserved pasta water, if desired, then top with a twist of lemon in the pan.
• Serve immediately as this seafood pasta dish is best piping hot. Don't forget some crusty bread to mop up the buttery garlic and wine sauce at the end!

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
• Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
• Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
• Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.
