SHRIMP AND SCALLOP RISOTTO RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the saffron, and reduce the heat to medium low. 
• Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a heavy medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and stir until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, season with salt and pepper, and stir until all of the grains are well coated with the fat and onions, and the rice is turning slightly translucent, about 2 minutes. 
• Add the white wine, if using, and stir until it is almost completely absorbed into the rice, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the hot broth and simmer, stirring frequently, until the liquid is almost absorbed, about 3 minutes. Continue adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring often and simmering until the liquid is almost absorbed before adding more (you can add some water to the pot of broth if it looks like you might run low). After about 16 to 18 minutes, when the rice is still quite al dente but the dish is starting to look creamy, stir in the shrimp and another 1/2 cup of the broth and stir frequently until the shrimp are almost cooked through and the rice is al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Add another 1/2 cup of liquid if the mixture is too thick (you want it to be quite loose). 
• Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the Parmesan. Taste and adjust the seasoning, and add a bit more broth if necessary to achieve the desired texture. Quickly ladle into a serving bowl, or individual bowls and serve immediately with the parsley and more Parmesan, if using.

Steps:

• Bring broth and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan.
• Add lobster; cover and cook for 4 minutes.
• Remove lobster from pan; cool for 5 minutes.
• Remove meat from cooked lobster tails, reserving shells and chop meat.
• Place shells in a large zip-top plastic bag. Coarsely crush shells using a meat mallet or heavy skillet. Return crushed shells to the broth mixture.
• Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Cover and cook for 20 minutes. Strain shell mixture through a sieve over a bowl, reserving broth; discard solids. Return broth mixture to saucepan; keep warm over low heat. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Add rice to pan; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Stir in 1 cup broth mixture and cook for 5 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Reserve 2 tbsps Broth mixture.
• Add the remaining broth mixture, 1/2 cup simultaneously, constantly stirring until each portion is absorbed before adding the next (about 22 minutes total).
• Remove from heat, and stir in lobster, the reserved 2 tbsps Broth mixture, 2 tbsps Butter and green peas. Serve immediately with remaining Parmesan.
