Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

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
½ pound bay scallops
½ 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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I actually really enjoyed this dish. The lemon flavor was really refreshing.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it would be better with less butter.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a little bit too lemony for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less lemon juice.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover seafood, and it's also a very budget-friendly meal.

This risotto was so easy to make and it turned out so well! I used shrimp, scallops, and mussels and it was the perfect combination of flavors. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The only change I made was to use white wine instead of lemon juice. It was still delicious.
