2. Remove beards from scallops and sauté scallops in1 tablespoons of the butter until caramelized (2-3 minutes). Set aside.
3. Heat chicken stock in a saucepan until warm.
4. Combine olive oil and 1 tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy bottomed pot. Sauté the shallots until soft. Add the rice, and cook stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
