Seafood

Risotto

Vegetables

Method

Preparing the Risotto

  1. 1

    Sauté Shallots

    In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Toast Arborio Rice

    Add 1 cup of Arborio rice to the saucepan and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with White Wine

    Pour in 1 cup of white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.

  4. 4

    Add Chicken Stock Gradually

    Slowly add 4 cups of warm chicken stock, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Allow the rice to absorb the stock before adding the next ladle. This process should take about 20-25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish with Parmesan

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm while you prepare the seafood.

Cooking the Seafood

  1. 6

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add 1 pound of jumbo shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 8

    Cook the Scallops

    In the same skillet, add the sea scallops and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Add 3 minced garlic cloves during the last minute of cooking.

  4. 9

    Combine Seafood

    Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the scallops and toss gently to combine. Remove from heat.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 10

    Sauté the Vegetable

    In a separate pot, steam or sauté the vegetable of the day (e.g., asparagus or broccoli) until tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 11

    Plate the Dish

    To serve, spoon the garlic Parmesan risotto onto a plate, top with the pan-seared shrimp and scallops, and arrange the vegetable of the day alongside.
