Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large leek, cleaned and thinly sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup Arborio rice

  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • ½ pound bay scallops

  • ½ pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 cup fresh snow peas, trimmed and halved crosswise

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced

  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 teaspoons dried basil

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Add leek and garlic; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring frequently.

  2. Pour in 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally. Pour in remaining chicken broth and wine; increase heat to medium and cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring constantly.

  3. Add scallops, shrimp, peas, and red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until remaining liquid is almost absorbed and seafood has cooked, about 5 minutes. When rice is just tender and slightly creamy, season with Parmesan cheese, basil, lemon juice, and pepper.
