Seafood Risotto Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Stock
In a saucepan, heat the chicken or seafood stock to a simmer and keep it warm over low heat.
Sauté Aromatics
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Toast the Rice
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
Deglaze with Wine
Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Add Stock Gradually
Begin adding the warm stock one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb most of the liquid before adding the next ladle. Continue until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
Incorporate Seafood
Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the lobster, shrimp, and scallops. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the seafood is heated through.
Finish the Risotto
Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the chopped parsley.
Serve
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
