Scallop Scampi with Garlic Risotto

This recipe can be found on the back of our Garlic & Italian Herb Risotto. However, the original recipe calls for shrimp, but scallops work just as well and definitely gives this meal an elegant flair. It’s easy to share love through food when recipes are this simple…plus it’s sooooo yummy! You can easily double this recipe to feed 4 people instead of 2.

What Our Customers Say

I was fortunate to stop at the Kitchen Witchery booth at Mohegan Sun New England Christmas Festival. I purchased the Magical Marinara and that is what it is “magical” I cooked my meatballs in the sauce. The flavor was delicious with the garlic infused olive oil and a slight kick of red pepper we thoroughly enjoyed it! I will definitely be purchasing it again and will be trying the infused olive oils!

I just received the Winter Brew coffee and Rosemary olive oil and love them so much! I think the winter brew just might be my new favorite coffee. I can’t wait to try the other seasons!

I have purchased many products from Cucina Aurora Kitchen Witchery over the years. Dip mix, risotto, cookbooks and of course oils! What keeps me coming back is the fact that everything is just plain good. I love to cook and the oils in particular make it simple to add a delicious burst of flavor. I tell everyone about these products and will keep spreading the word!

I have a huge food allergy and have to avoid many things. The olive oil I buy from Cucina Aurora is delicious! I know exactly what is in it, I cook with it, and use it on salads. What a twist to add to a salad and it is amazing on shrimp! Thank you Dawn for adding yummy flavor to my very limited menu!

Delicious!!! Cucina Aurora oils are the best tasting oils out there!  Every time, I use them with guests, they always ask about flavors. I continued to try different brands of flavored oils over the past 9 years, but none of them compare to Cucina Aurora.  They are fantastic on vegetables, breads, and salads.  You can really taste a smooth flavor of each flavor.  I highly recommend you try any of the oils!  You won’t be disappointed

I genuinely love every product this company makes. I’ve been blessed with meeting members of the team in person and got nothing but good vibes and have been lucky to find local establishments in which to purchase their oils and coffee. You can’t go wrong with buying food items from a kitchen witch!

The risotto packages are great! Easy to make, with few additional ingredients. Makes two hearty portions. Fast delivery. I’ve ordered from this place before and I’ll order again.
