Seared Scallops with Warm Corn & Chorizo Salsa

The salty sweetness of scallops plays gorgeously against the earthy sweetness of corn. Both get a flavorful lift from the spice and fat of chorizo in this easy, perfect-for-summer entrée. Many farms and farm stands offer wonderful summer corn, but if you’re near Monongahela try Triple B Farms. triplebfarms.com
