Ingredients
1 Yellow Squash
8 oz. Cooked White Rice
4 fl. oz. Cream Sauce Base
8 oz. Patagonian Petite Scallops
2 oz. Baby Spinach
1 oz. Shredded Parmesan Cheese
⅘noz.nLemon Garlic Butter
2 tsp. Vegetable Base

½ tsp. Garlic Salt
How to make it
1
Step 1
Coarsely chop the spinach. Trim and halve the yellow squash lengthwise; cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Pat the scallops dry and season all over with salt and pepper.
2
Step 2
Massage the rice in its bag to break up any clumps. Place a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup water, the cream base, vegetable base, and garlic salt; stir and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the rice and half the cheese (reserve the rest for garnish). Stir occasionally until combined and slightly thickened, 4-6 minutes. Add more water 1 tablespoon at a time if too thick. Remove from heat. Continue with the recipe while the risotto cooks.

Step 3
Place a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add the yellow squash and a pinch of salt; stir occasionally until slightly browned and tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the spinach and buttermilk-dill seasoning; stir occasionally until the spinach wilts, 2-3 minutes.
4
Step 4
Add 2 tsp. olive oil and the scallops to the hot pan. Cook undisturbed, 90 seconds. Stir occasionally until the scallops reach 145°F, 60-90 seconds more. Remove from heat. Stir in the softened butter until melted and combined. Divide the risotto between bowls, top with the scallop and vegetable mixture, and garnish with the remaining cheese.
