Ingredients

250 g risotto rice
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 dl white wine
1 liter chicken stock
200 g shrimp, peeled
150 g mussels, pre-steamed
1 lemon, juice and zest
50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until soft.

Stir in the risotto rice, and cook for 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly translucent at the edges. Pour in the white wine, and let it cook down.

Start adding warm chicken stock, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Allow the stock to absorb before adding more. Continue until the rice is al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

Stir in the shrimp, mussels, lemon juice, and zest. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the seafood is heated through.

Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Let the risotto rest for a couple of minutes.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Use fresh shrimp for extra flavor.
