Pasta with ground chorizo and scallops

This recipe started because I had some ground chorizo to finish up prior to its expiration date. I kept on looking around the fridge and freezer and came up with this recipe. It actually came out pretty good if  I may say so myself.

INGREDIENTS
1 bag of frozen scallops
1/2 pound of ground chorizo
1/2 minced onion
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 red pepper
1 cup of heavy cream
salt & pepper to taste
1 bag of penne

DIRECTIONS
  1. Set the skillet at medium heat and add the ground chorizo
  2. Then add the onions and garlic and keep on turning with a wooden spoon
  3. Meanwhile start cooking the penne in water until al dente
  4. Once chorizo is starting to brown add the scallops and peppers for about 7 minutes
  5. Turn the heat off and add the heavy cream
  6. Serve on top of the cooked pasta

Great job using what was at hand. Sausage and seafood have always been a great match!
