Seafood Risotto Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the chicken or seafood broth over medium heat until simmering. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 2-3 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted. Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.

  4. 4

    Add Seafood

    Once the rice is al dente (about 15-20 minutes), add the shrimp, scallops, clams, langostinos, and mussels. Stir gently and cook until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels and clams have opened, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish the Risotto

    Remove from heat and stir in butter, grated Parmesan cheese, three-pepper blend, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix until creamy.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the risotto hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
