How to cook deliciously - Italian Shrimp and Scallop Risotto
1 . Stage
For the shellfish: Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until starting to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Stir in scallops and cook for 1 minute. Add shrimp and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook over high heat until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
2 . Stage
Pour 1/2 cup white wine into the skillet and let the alcohol evaporate. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze; cook until the liquid is reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add lemon juice, and sprinkle with 1/2 of the parsley. Discard garlic. Cover the skillet to keep shellfish warm.
3 . Stage
To make the risotto: Pour fish stock into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
4 . Stage
Melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and shallot. Cook until shallot is soft and translucent, but not brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase heat and add rice; cook until rice has absorbed the oil and butter and has a nutty aroma, stirring often, about 1 to 2 minutes. Make sure not to burn the shallot and reduce the heat if the skillet gets too hot.
5 . Stage
Pour 1/2 cup white wine into the skillet and stir until alcohol has evaporated. Add 1 ladleful of fish stock, stir, and cook until rice has absorbed the stock. Add another ladleful and repeat the process until rice is tender, 15 to 18 minutes in total.
6 . Stage
Add shellfish with their juices to the risotto pan 3 minutes before the end of cooking; stir and cook until shellfish are warmed through, adding stock if needed. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining parsley and 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Let risotto stand briefly before serving. AllrecipesPhoto
