Ingredients

Seafood

  • 18oz mixed seafood(a mix of shrimp, mussels, clams, and squid, cleaned)

Aromatics & Liquids

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 pcs garlic(minced)
  • 1 pc onion(finely chopped)
  • 5 1/8 fl oz white wine(dry)
  • 25 3/8 fl oz fish stock(warm)
  • 3 3/8 fl oz heavy cream

Rice Base

  • 11oz arborio rice
  • 1 tsp saffron threads(infused in a little warm stock)
  • 1 cup parsley(chopped, for garnish)
  • 2oz parmesan cheese(grated, plus extra for serving)

Seasoning

  • salt(to taste)
  • black pepper(freshly ground, to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the Seafood

  1. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the arborio rice to the pan and stir for 1-2 minutes until the grains are lightly toasted and translucent at the edges.
  3. Pour in the white wine and stir until it has evaporated.
  4. Begin adding the warm fish stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and waiting for each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is al dente.
  5. While the rice is cooking, in a separate pan, quickly sear the mixed seafood until just cooked through. Be careful not to overcook.
  6. Stir the cooked seafood into the risotto along with the saffron-infused stock.
  7. Gently fold in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through and the risotto is creamy.
  8. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Serve

  1. Serve the creamy arroz de marisco risotto immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and extra grated parmesan cheese.
