In this recipe I will show you how to make a perfect risotto at home. This is a dish that requires the attention and love of the person making the food. With good ingredients, this will be a dinner that both looks beautiful and tastes absolutely fantastic!
Step 1
When I make risotto, I prepare everything I need in advance so I can give my full attention to the risotto for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Start by pouring olive oil into the pan and add the chili flakes, saffron, garlic and shallots. Cook this for a few minutes until the onion has softened.
Step 3
Pour in the rice and mix well. I fry the rice about 1 minute before I pour in the white wine. Stir regularly all the time. I start a clock when I pour in the rice in 19 minutes. When all the liquid from the wine is gone, I start to add the shellfish broth little by little. It's smart to heat up the broth.
Step 4
Now all you have to do is continue to stir the rice calmly and simmer with warm broth until we approach the 19th minute. I fry crayfish and scampi in a separate pan at the same time. As time approaches, it is important to taste the rice. There should be some chewing resistance in the rice. When I am happy with the rice (after about 19 minutes) I turn off the heat and stir in the butter and parmesan. Season with salt and lemon juice.
Step 5
Add shrimp, scampi and crayfish. Sprinkle with a little finely chopped parsley and the shellfish risotto is ready to serve. This should be served piping hot so I like to let the guests wait at the table the last minutes before this is served. Good luck.
