Seafood Preparation
1. Prepare the Cajun Spice
In a small bowl, combine all the spices for the Cajun spice mix. Set aside.
2. Season the Seafood
Pat the scallops and shrimp dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the Cajun spice mix.
3. Sear the Seafood
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add scallops and shrimp. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Risotto Preparation
4. Cook the Risotto
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and arborio rice, stirring for 1-2 minutes.
5. Add Broth
Gradually add the vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed before adding more. This process takes about 18-20 minutes.
6. Stir in Kale and Kimchi
Once rice is cooked and creamy, stir in the chopped kale and kimchi. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until kale is wilted.
