This risotto recipe is AMAZING. I make it every Christmas and it's a hit! Thank you to whomever posted a review and said that you can use chicken stock instead of seafood stock which is expensive and hard to find. It really is just as good.

This was an amazing recipe! It was our New Year's Dinner. We 'kicked it up a notch' by using a bottle of clam juice, two cans of vegetable stock and white wine. We also diced a red bell pepper and sauteed it with the onions. We used shrimp, scallops, crab and lobster. Note: It took much longer to cook the risotto than indicated in the recipe. It probably took 20 minutes at least.

This is a really good recipe. I agree w/ the person who said the rice needs more time. I tend to do the "real risotto" method for about 15-20 minutes. Then I add the rest of the stock and let it finish cooking as with standard rice. For the seafood stock, I use 2 bottles of clam juice and make up the rest with chicken broth. It goes without saying- get the real Parm and hand grate it. Fabulous!

I would have given this recipe a 5 star for easiness and taste/combination of ingredients. However, the cooking time is incorrect. Because I am an experienced cook, and have made risotto many times, I knew the rice would not be cooked in the 20 minutes specified in this recipe. I know arborio rice takes approximately 30 minutes to cook, so I added a total of 8 minutes, two at a time, and had to constantly try it to make sure it was not still uncooked. In addition, there is a part of a sentence missingin the recipe--that you have to add the seafood to the rice--which is not a problem and people would realize it, but it is careless writing (nobody reads the recipes before publishing?.

Some notes: (1 I used chicken stock, and it worked just as well; (2 I used the fish/seafood I had at home at the time (I thawed frozen swordfish and scallops and (3, since I did not have heavy cream available and it was just a very little amount, instead I used a little bit of milk and more butter.

I used chicken stock instead of seafood stock & to keep it inexpensive I used a mix of mock crab meat & shrimp along with a small package of (frozen scallops; processed the seafood in a food processor. Served with a sprinkle of parsley on top. The end result looked, smelled and tasted like a Seafood Risotto that I had at a high-end local restaurant and had been trying to duplicate.

Substituting the seafood stock for a white wine and herb broth definitely kicked this recipe up a notch. The risotto was gone in no time.

This risotto fanatic liked this recipe but I don't think it's a standout. Perhaps it was the fact I couldn't find seafood stock and substituted vegetable stock, replacing a portion with clam juice. I also found that it took far longer to cook than stated, but that's never a deal breaker. It's very good, but I'm still in the hunt for the risotto of all risottos.

I loved the richness and flavor,it was very creamy and cheesy. I used mussels, shrimp, and small scallops. It came out a little too wet for my liking, next time I will cook the risotto longer than the stated 12 mins before I put in the seafood. I also used a lot more garlic.
