Ingredients

• 500g mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, and mussels)
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced

• 200ml dry white wine
• 50g unsalted butter
• 50g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil and half of the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant.

6. Gently fold the cooked seafood into the risotto, reserving some for garnish. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.  
7. Remove the risotto from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
