Seafood Risotto recipe

Yield: 4 servings

Equipment

  • Instant Pot®

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, + a little extra for drizzling
  • 1 small sweet yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely minced, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked Arborio rice
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/2 pound bay scallops
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in Instant Pot and select sauté setting. Add onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until onion is translucent and tender.
  2. Add garlic and the oregano; cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add rice; stir and cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Add wine and stir until absorbed; deglaze bottom of pot.
  5. Add broth and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Lock lid on Instant Pot and ensure that vent is sealed. Select manual setting, adjust pressure to high, and set timer for 9 minutes.
  6. While risotto is cooking, sauté the scallops: Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in large skillet over high heat. Add scallops to hot oil and cook them undisturbed until golden brown (about 2 minutes). Flip scallops and cook until cooked through (about 1 to 2 minutes). Set aside.
  7. When Instant Pot timer goes off, turn vent to quick-release to allow the pressure to normalize.
  8. Open lid carefully. Stir in shrimp and let the risotto stand, until the shrimp are pale pink and cooked through (about 2 minutes).
  9. Serve risotto in bowls. Top risotto with seared scallops and remaining Parmesan and parsley.
  10. Drizzle with a little olive oil and add salt and pepper, to taste.
