In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of preparing a mouthwatering seafood risotto that will impress your family and friends. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups seafood or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup mixed seafood (shrimp, mussels, squid, etc.), cleaned and deveined
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Prepare the broth

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the seafood or vegetable broth over low heat until it simmers. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

Step 2: Sauté the onion and garlic

In a large, deep pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.

Step 3: Toast the rice

Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir it into the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for a few minutes until the rice grains become slightly translucent at the edges.

Step 4: Deglaze with white wine

Pour in the white wine and stir until it is absorbed by the rice. This step will help enhance the flavors of the dish.

Step 5: Add the broth

Now, it’s time to start adding the warm broth to the rice. Begin by adding one ladleful of broth and stir continuously until it is absorbed by the rice. Repeat this process, adding one ladleful of broth at a time, and stirring until each portion is absorbed. This gradual addition of broth will result in a creamy risotto with the perfect consistency.

Step 6: Cook the seafood

In a separate pan, melt one tablespoon of butter. Add the mixed seafood, cherry tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the seafood is cooked through and the tomatoes become slightly soft.

Step 7: Combine the rice and seafood

Once the rice is cooked al dente and creamy, add the cooked seafood mixture to the pan. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.

Step 8: Add Parmesan and butter

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining tablespoon of butter. These ingredients will add extra creaminess and enhance the overall taste of the dish.

Step 9: Serve and garnish

Transfer the seafood risotto to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of freshness and color.
