Remove these from the pan, retaining the oil in the pan to cook the scallops and prawns.

Turn up the heat and carefully add the scallops and King prawns, pan fry for a minute on each side then add the chorizo mix back into the pan along with the chopped tomatoes and butter beans.

Bring to the boil and cook for a further 2-3 minutes before adding the butter, chopped parsley and black pepper, remove from the heat. Gently swirl the pan to incorporate the butter and parsley.

Place into your serving dish and serve with plenty of fresh bread.
