Delicious Salmon Prawn Risotto Recipe for Seafood Lovers

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 200 g salmon fillet (cut into cubes)
  • 150 g prawns (peeled and deveined)
  • 4 cups chicken or fish stock (warmed)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.

    Do not let the garlic burn to avoid bitterness.
  2. Toast the Rice

    Add Arborio rice to the pan and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.

    This step enhances the nutty flavor of the rice.
  3. Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine and cook until absorbed, stirring frequently.

    Use a dry wine for the best flavor.
  4. Add Stock Gradually

    Start adding warmed stock one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.

    This method helps release the rice's starch, creating a creamy texture.
  5. Incorporate Seafood

    When the rice is nearly cooked, fold in the salmon and prawns. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the seafood is cooked through.

    Ensure the seafood is fresh for the best taste.
  6. Finish the Risotto

    Stir in butter and Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

    Add peas if desired for color and sweetness.
  7. Serve

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

    Risotto is best enjoyed immediately for optimal creaminess.
