Instructions
Heat the seafood stock in a medium pot over low heat and keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the Arborio rice and toast it for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the edges of the grains turn translucent.
Pour in the white wine and stir. Simmer until the wine is mostly absorbed by the rice.
Begin adding the warm seafood stock, one ladleful at a time. Stir frequently and allow each ladleful to be absorbed before adding more. This process should take 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and gently sauté the shrimp, mussels, clams, and squid for 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the shellfish have opened. Discard any shellfish that remain closed.
When the rice is creamy and cooked al dente, stir in the sautéed seafood, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the risotto rest for 2 minutes.
Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil, additional parsley, and lemon wedges on the side.
