Best Recipe for Lemon Seafood Risotto

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large leek, cleaned and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 pound bay scallops
  • 1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup fresh snow peas, trimmed and halved crosswise
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook the leek and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice, and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring frequently.
  2. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth, and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes, continuing to stir. Pour in the remaining chicken broth and wine, increase heat to medium, and cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Add the scallops, shrimp, peas, and red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the remaining liquid is almost absorbed, and the seafood has cooked, about 5 minutes. When the rice is just tender and slightly creamy, season with Parmesan cheese, basil, lemon juice, and pepper.
