Ingredients


160 g of rice (risotto)

350 g of seafood (we used frozen)

1 clove of garlic

20 g of butter

40 ml of white wine

olive oil

parsley

lemon zest

salt

pepper

1 bouillon cube

1 liter of water (+/-)

parmesan cheese (optional)






Preparation


First, dissolve the bouillon cube in a saucepan with boiling water.


Meanwhile, partially thaw the seafood by rinsing it in cold water.

In a skillet, brown 1 clove of garlic in olive oil. Then, add the seafood. Cook for about ten minutes over medium-high heat, stirring frequently (add a little water if necessary).

Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside. Be sure to remove the garlic clove used during cooking.

In the same skillet, toast the rice briefly. Then, deglaze with white wine and stir until the alcohol has completely evaporated.

Cook the rice, gradually adding the broth (the average cooking time is about 18 minutes, but always check the cooking time by tasting).

When it is almost cooked, about 3 minutes before turning off the heat, add the previously cooked seafood. Stir and finish cooking the risotto.

Turn off the heat, adjust the salt, add the chopped parsley, black pepper, and lemon zest. Stir well.


Finally, the butter.

The seafood risotto is ready. If you prefer, garnish with lemon zest, chopped parsley, or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
