11 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
12 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

→ Seafood

13 - 1 pound of peeled, deveined shrimp without tails
14 - 1 pound of sea scallops

# Étapes de préparation:

01 - Keep the broth gently warmed on low heat while you’re cooking, so it’s ready when needed.
02 - In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the onion and garlic, stirring for about 5 minutes until soft.
03 - Mix in the wine and lemon juice, letting the liquid reduce slightly.
04 - Pour in Arborio rice, then stir it around to coat and let it soak up the flavors from the wine mix.
05 - Spoon 1 cup of warm broth into your rice mixture. Keep stirring as it cooks down, about 5 minutes.
06 - Keep adding 1 cup at a time, letting the rice absorb each addition. Stop when you have about 2 cups of broth left.
07 - Blend the tomato paste into the last 2 cups of broth. Bring it back up to a light simmer.
08 - Continue ladling in the tomato-enriched broth, letting each portion cook into the rice completely before adding more.
09 - Stir in the last cup of broth along with your scallops and shrimp as the rice absorbs the liquids.
10 - Keep stirring gently until all the liquid is absorbed and the seafood is cooked through (opaque).
11 - Adjust with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if you like some heat.
12 - Scatter some parsley on top if desired and serve while hot.
