Basil Parmesan Risotto with Seared Scallops

This Basil Parmesan Risotto is a beautifully simple base recipe, creamy, comforting, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of dish that welcomes personalization. Feel free to stir in sautéed mushrooms, roasted vegetables, or your favorite seafood to make it your own.

If you’re in the mood for something with a little kick, I highly recommend trying my Prawn Risotto. It’s bold, spicy, and absolutely packed with flavor.

But don’t underestimate the elegance of this Basil Parmesan version. Especially when you finish it with a few Pan-Seared Sea Scallops on top, it’s a restaurant-worthy meal that’s surprisingly easy to pull off at home.
