SEAFOOD RISOTTO

This is one of my favorite food when i was pregnant with my son Trey. That was the time we moved here in Aviano, Italy so i always ordered it everytime we're on a restaurant. Just this year i created my own seafood risotto recipe and a few friends are already asking for this recipe

INGREDIENTS

1 lb shrimp                                                             3 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb mussels                                                           3 Tbsp butter
2 1/2 cups arborio rice                                            6 to 8 cups veg or chicken broth
1 onion diced                                                         4 Tbsp tomato paste
2 cloves garlic                                                        1 tsp red pepper flakes
3 tomatoes diced                                                   2 Tbsp tabasco sauce
1 cup white wine                                                    1/2 cup parmesan cheese
a few sprigs of parsley for garnish

In a pan add the olive oil and butter then sautee the onions, garlic, tomato paste and the rice. Add the rice, red pepper flakes and tabasco sauce. For those of you doesn't like spicy food you can skip with the red pepper and tabasco and for those who wants more flavor you can add spicy chorizo instead of red pepper flakes. When the rice is brown add the wine and when it boils turn the fire down to simmer you have to keep stirring while slowly adding the broth until the rice cooked to al dente. Then add the shrimp and mussels and cover it to let it cook. Serve it with the parmesan and garnish it with parsley.
