Risotto ai frutti di mare

This Italian classic couples rice with various seafood ingredients. Clams, shrimps, lobster meat, squid, and mussels are commonly used, while other ingredients include short-grain rice, butter, garlic, onions, white wine, parsley, and fish or vegetable stock.

Since it is a popular dish throughout the country, it appears in numerous varieties that are occasionally enriched with saffron or tomato-based sauces. Like other types of risotto, this seafood classic is also traditionally enjoyed as a starter and should always be freshly prepared and served warm.
