A note about serious food allergies

Scallops and risotto are natural food buddies, delightful together, and this meal is no exception. Those succulent little mollusks are lovely here as always, resting on a bed of creamy, thick rice that fills and satiates like nothing else.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, to a large non-stick pan over medium heat with 2 tsp. olive oil. Cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with 2 tsp. olive oil until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomatoes. Quarter lengthwise and cut into 1/2" pieces.

    Zest and halve lemon. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Mince chives.

    Mince garlic.

    Pat scallops dry and season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  2. 2

    Start the Risotto

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add rice, a pinch of salt, and garlic to hot pot. Stir occasionally until rice is toasted and opaque, 1-2 minutes.

    Add 1 cup boiling water from small pot to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Finish the Risotto

    Add 1/2 cup boiling water and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.

    Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.

    Remove from burner. Add butter, cheese, garlic salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir to combine, then cover and set aside.

  4. 4

    Broil the Vegetables

    Place corn and tomatoes on prepared baking sheet. Toss with 2 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer.

    Place under hot broiler and broil until softened and warmed through, 3-5 minutes.

    Don't text and broil! Keep an eye on vegetables, as they may burn easily under broiler.

  5. 5

    Cook Scallops and Finish Dish

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add scallops to hot pan and cook until scallops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Add 2 tsp. lemon juice. Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, placing scallops and vegetables on risotto and garnishing with lemon zest (to taste) and chives. Squeeze lemon wedges over to taste. Bon appétit!
