Creamy Seafood Risotto Recipes

CREAMY SEAFOOD RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook shrimp in oil 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until shrimp are pink and firm. Place shrimp, tomatoes, and milk in food processor or blender. Cover and process about 1 minute or until smooth. (If you are up to chewing the shrimp, leave them whole and blend just the tomatoes and milk together in food processor.)
• Melt butter in 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion in butter about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in rice. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until edges of rice kernels are translucent.
• Stir in wine, salt and red pepper. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in broth. Cook over low heat 12 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed.
• Stir in shrimp and tomato mixture and arugula. Cook 3 minutes. Stir in cheese. Serve immediately.

LEMON SEAFOOD RISOTTO

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.
