Plus, it’s also great for parties. This scrumptious seafood munch is easy to make in bulk, and it’s definitely a showstopper. For a quick and impressive meal, seafood risotto will certainly do the trick!
Now, let’s start with the process. First, get all the ingredients prepped. This will help when it’s time to actually cook the risotto. Cut up the seafood and vegetables, and measure out the dry ingredients. With this step done, you’ll already be off to a great start.
Next, heat up some oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. This is where the base of the risotto (in our case, the Arborio Rice) is made: add some garlic and onion and sauté them until they’re soft. Then add the risotto and sauté for another two to three minutes until the risotto has absorbed the flavour of the vegetables and is lightly toasted.
Now, it’s time to add the broth. Slowly add the broth to the risotto, stirring constantly so it can absorb it. Once the risotto has absorbed all the broth and is creamy, it’s time to move on to the next step.
Now, it’s time to add the seafood and vegetables. Add the seafood to the pot and cook for five to seven minutes. Then, add the vegetables and cook until they are tender. The risotto should be creamy, and the seafood should be cooked through.
Lastly, season the risotto with salt and pepper. Then, serve it with some fresh herbs if desired.
