The Seafood Risotto is a dish with a delicate and distinctive flavor. For a good result you must buy absolutely fresh fish and prepare it carefully. In the preparation of the recipe we suggested the use of clams, mussels, shrimp and squid, but the ingredients can be varied according to personal taste or the availability of fish.
The seafood risotto recipe is not difficult, it takes only a little more patience, but the result is truly amazing!
