Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using diced chicken thighs, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  • If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice, piri piri seasoning (to taste), and 1 1/4 cups water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Remove from burner and set aside.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" dice.

    Stem cilantro and reserve whole leaves.

    Pat scallops dry and season all over with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  3. 3

    Cook the Scallops

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Let heat, 3 minutes.

    Add scallops to hot pan and cook undisturbed, 90 seconds.

    After 90 seconds, stir occasionally until scallops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 60-90 seconds.

    Transfer scallops to a plate. Wipe pan clean and keep over medium-high heat. Pan will be hot! Use caution.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, bell peppers, corn, and fiesta seasoning to hot pan. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender, 6-8 minutes.

    Add cooked scallops and stir to combine, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Stir in softened butter (to taste) until melted and combined.
