Seafood

Risotto Base

Method

Preparing the Seafood

  1. 1

    Sauté the Seafood

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and mussels. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and the mussels have opened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Market Fish

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and place the market fish. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making the Risotto

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the pot and stir for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  3. 5

    Deglaze with White Wine

    Pour in the white wine, stirring constantly until the wine has mostly evaporated.

  4. 6

    Add the Stock Gradually

    Begin adding the fish stock, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Allow the stock to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

  5. 7

    Finish the Risotto

    Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the sautéed seafood.

Plating and Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Risotto

    Spoon the risotto into serving bowls. Top with pieces of market fish and the sautéed shrimp and mussels.

  2. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
