Four wonderful ingredients for this spring "land and sea" dish. What I love about this plate is the classic combination of chorizo and scallops. But what gives this dish its strength is the fresh and flavorful asparagus delicately seasoned with a parmesan emulsion. Their pairing is surprising and striking!

Ingredients
 24 Green asparagus
 16 Scallops
 20 Mild chorizo
 2 Freshly grated or chunked Parmesan cheese
 15 Light cream
 2 Butter
Directions
1

Cut the chorizo into small pieces.

2

Melt the parmesan in the cream over very low heat.

3

Trim the asparagus to keep the tips (about 10-12 cm), then cut them in half lengthwise. Put a knob of butter in a pan and sauté the asparagus for about ten minutes, turning them gently so they don't break or brown too much.

4

In the meantime, brown the chorizo pieces in a small saucepan.

5

Two minutes before the end of cooking the asparagus, brown the scallops in the butter and emulsify the cream with parmesan using an immersion blender.

6

To finish, arrange the asparagus on the plates, add the scallops, then pour the Parmesan emulsion and the chorizo lardons over them, and serve hot.
