1
Prepare the Risotto
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.
2
Add the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Gradually add the broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed.
3
Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the diced pineapple, chopped basil, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
4
Cook the Sea Scallops
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
5
In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until hot. Add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
6
Serve the seared scallops over a bed of pineapple and basil risotto.
