Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • ½ lb baby scallops
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp chili flakes
In a medium saucepan saute half a pound of baby scallops in a tablespoon of butter with half a teaspoon of chili flakes; they are small so this is quick. Remove them.
  • 1 lb shrimp
Season and sear a pound of shelled and deveined tail-on shrimp until barely cooked through, then remove.
  • sorbot fish stock
  • saffron
Infuse the fish stock with a few pinches of saffron.
  • 1½ cups arborio rice
  • 1 tbsp butter
Cook a cup and a half of arborio rice in the remaining flavour in the pan with another tablespoon of butter until the edges of each grain start to become translucent.
Ladle in a ladleful or two of stock at a time, letting the rice absorb it until it looks sticky before adding more; repeat until there is no stock left.
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
Grate in about half a cup of parmesan cheese and mix through.
  • 2 tbsp butter
Finish with two tablespoons of butter.
  • mussels
Mound onto a plate, arrange the seared scallops and shrimp clockwise and add a few mussels borrowed from the tomato dish.
Arranging the seafood on the rice
  • spring onion
  • parsley
Garnish with a couple of sprigs of spring onion and a parsley sprig in the middle.
