Scallops are one of our favorites to indulge in, but I was missing the flavor of creamy risotto when we first switched to a keto lifestyle. These seared scallops over cauliflower rice risotto really matched both the texture and flavor of traditional risotto.

How to Make Seared Scallops over Cauliflower Rice Risotto

The trick to getting a perfect sear on the scallops is to ensure that they are completely dry before cooking. Place them on a paper towel to drain, then pat them with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Season the scallops lightly with salt and pepper.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, once the oil is hot, add the butter. Place the scallops in the hot pan and sear them, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side. Spoon the fat over them, basting as they fry.
