Ingredients:

Serving

4 slices bacon
24 oz sea scallops
10 oz langostino prawns, cooked (not prawns but needed to put prawns because langostions wouldn'tsp be excepted in the ingredients) or 1 small shrimp, peeled cooked
1 tbsp butter or 1 tbsp olive oil or 1 tbsp bacon fat
2 cups sliced button mushrooms
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, diced
1 -2 tbsp butter or 1 -2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, 1 cup diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
20 saffron threads
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
5 cups water
1/3 cup grated cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp creole seasoning (to taste) or 1 tsp old bay seasoning , adding (to taste)

Directions:

Fry bacon in a large heavy pot. Remove bacon leave bacon fat in pot. Crumble bacon when cool enough to handle.Set aside.
Season scallops with creole seasoning or Old Bay. Brown scallops in the same pan bacon was fried in using (bacon fat, butter, or olive oil) pan. Do not crowd the scallops or they won`t brown. Remove and set aside.
Place water in a separate pot and bring to boil and keep hot over low heat.
To the same pot add 1-2 tablespoons bacon fat, or olive oil or butter if needed saute the mushrooms and saute until tender and liquid has evaporated. Season with fresh cracked pepper to taste add the sun dried tomatoes. Remove from pot and set aside. Leaving as much bacon fat and oil from the sun dried tomatoes in pan.
Add a touch of butter if needed and saute the onions 3 minutes add garlic, saffron and rice stir to coat about one minute.
Add white wine and cook until completely absorbed.
Stir in 1/2 cup of the simmering hot water at a time until all the water is absorbed. Stirring to prevent sticking for about 30 minutes of adding water and stirring till creamy consistency and rice is tender but firm.
Add to the rice the mushrooms, tomatoes, langostino, cheese, parsley and seasoning.
Plate topping with 2 to 3 scallops and crumbled bacon.
Take note I didn`t used any salt because the cheese, the creole seasoning and bacon lends alot of salt to the dish. But if desired go ahead and season to taste.
