A great way to serve a Risotto . You can really play with the presentation by serving the seared scallops on the side ..I sometimes add some Scallops with the rice if I have extra . Everyone loves this!

Very well done,thanks for the post. Joymarie


I love risotto, and make it with stock, but have never made it with fish stock...I can't get the fresh fish other areas can, easily, but I can see this being a great recipes, as is, and perhaps just searing or grilling shrimp rather than the scallops...mmmmm :) Thank you for the addition!


Awsome recipe thanks
