Risotto With Squid Shrimp And Curry Leaves Recipes

''RISOTTO'' WITH SQUID, SHRIMP, AND CURRY LEAVES

Steps:

• Place squid bodies on a baking sheet; transfer to freezer and freeze for 1 hour. Transfer tentacles to refrigerator until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, place cauliflower in a medium-heavy-bottomed saucepan and add milk; season with salt and pepper. Cover with a parchment paper round to keep cauliflower submerged. Place saucepan over low heat and cook until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain cauliflower, reserving milk, and transfer to jar of a blender. Blend until smooth, adding some of the milk as necessary to puree. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Fill a large heavy-bottomed saucepan 1-inch high with vegetable oil; heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Add curry leaves and cook until they stop popping, 10 to 20 seconds. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add shrimp and cook, turning, until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from skillet, set aside and keep warm. Add remaining tablespoon olive oil to skillet and add reserved squid tentacles; cook, turning, until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Remove squid bodies from freezer and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Add 3 tablespoons butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat. When butter is melted and foamy, add cut squid, 5 heaping tablespoons cauliflower puree (reserve any remaining for another use), and leeks; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until squid becomes opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining tablespoon butter and cook, stirring, until melted; season with salt and pepper.
• Divide squid mixture evenly between six serving bowls. Divide shrimp and curry leaves evenly between the bowls. Using an immersion blender, blend shrimp broth until frothy; spoon broth into each bowl. Garnish with squid tentacles and serve immediately.

LEMON SEAFOOD RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook the leek and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice, and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring frequently.
• Pour in 1 1/2 cups of the 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. Pour in the remaining chicken broth and wine, increase heat to medium, and cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add the scallops, shrimp, peas, and red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the remaining liquid is almost absorbed, and the seafood has cooked, about 5 minutes. When the rice is just tender and slightly creamy, season with Parmesan cheese, basil, lemon juice, and pepper.

SHRIMP, LEEK AND SPINACH RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour in the rice, and stir until the rice is coated in oil and has started to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in one-third of the boiling vegetable broth; continue stirring until incorporated. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Incorporating the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
• While you are cooking the rice, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a pan. Stir in the garlic, leeks, red chili, shrimp, and scallops. Cook until the seafood is just beginning to turn color. Add the red bell pepper and spinach; cook until the seafood is opaque. Combine with the rice, and season to taste with pepper.
