Since it’s the holiday season with Christmas around the corner and New Years right behind I decided to make a seafood risotto with lobster, scallops and shrimp, why not, it’s the holidays and besides, this would be perfect for any special occasion.
So I took out my special risotto pot which I got as a gift, it’s made of heavy stainless with a wide bottom, but of course any heavy bottom pot will do. I love making my risotto in it.
I got all my ingredients all together, I decided to use Prosecco instead of white wine I thought it would pair well with the seafood and give it an extra special touch. I wasn’t sure if I was going to use parmesan cheese or not, I normally do in all my risotto’s but after it was done and I tasted it I felt there was no need for it at all so it’s your call on whether or not you want to use some.
Also for the first time in my life I broke down a whole cooked lobster strictly because I wanted those claws for garnish on my risotto, when in doubt watch a YouTube, I did and it was easy to figure out after seeing it, I basically just used the tail and claws.
First I got my stock going in a separate pan, I bought some seafood stock and enhanced it with the peeled shrimp shells, after it simmered for a while I strained it real good and I was ready to begin making the risotto.
When all the stock was absorbed I just folded in my chopped seafood and dinner was good to go!
This was by far one of the best risotto’s I have ever made, creamy and perfectly cooked and very impressive!
- Serves 2
- 1 pre-cooked whole lobster using the claws and tail
- 8 shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 large scallops
- all seafood should be pre-cooked and diced into chunks
- 1½ quart of seafood stock, either store bought or make your own by simmering water with shrimp and lobster shells, onions, celery, peppercorns and a little thyme, then straining twice.
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 2 large shallots
- ¾ cup of Prosecco or white wine
- 1 cup of canned or fresh diced tomatoes, drained of wet liquid
- parsley
- olive oil and butter
- Cook the shrimp and scallops on a foil lined sheet pan, drizzle seafood with some garlic infused olive oil and a small handful of chopped parsley, roast at 425 degrees until pink and translucent, maybe 10 minutes, let it rest.
- Break down your whole lobster tail, removing the shell from the claws so they stay in tact, remove the shell from the tail and cut into chunks, place all the lobster meat into the juices of the cooked shrimp and scallops on the sheet pan.
- Place a knob of butter and a good drizzle of olive oil into the bottom of the risotto pot.
- Add shallots and cook until they soften.
- Add rice, stirring until coated and hot.
- Deglaze with the Prosecco or white wine.
- When liquid is absorbed then start adding your simmering warm seafood stock, one ladle at a time, stirring until it gets absorbed, then add another ladle full.
- Keep flame on medium heat and continue adding warm stock and stirring until absorbed and rice reaches a tender and slightly al dente bite, you'll know when it's ready.
- Turn off heat, add another knob of butter, a little olive oil, the drained chopped tomatoes and parsley, then stir to incorporate and finally add in your chopped seafood.
- Put the lid on and let it rest for 1 minute.
- When plating top each plate with one claw, garnish with more parsley
I’m Marie, a wife, mother, mother-in-law, and gramma of two beautiful girls. My passion is food, clear and simple but especially Italian food, hence the name of my blog, Proud Italian Cook. I want you to feel right at home here so grab a cup of coffee, I’ll get the pastries, take a look around and enjoy your visit! {
I know this recipe is old but I just found it….how did you precook the seafood, I know the lobster but the shrimp and scallops?
Melisa, It’s in the instructions on line 1.in the recipe. I roast them for about 10 minutes
What kind of white wine would you recommend using in this dish? I assumed it would be a dry white wine but the Prosecco is a sweet wine, correct? I’m not a wine drinker but do use dry white wine in cooking a few dishes. It would be helpful to know if I should be using a dry or sweet white wine for this dish. Also, I’d like to thank you for a smaller version of a risotto recipe. It makes life a lot easier when you are only feeding 2 rather than 4 to 6 people!
You’re recipies are always so delicious ~ Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you so much Shelia
Very excited to try this for our Christmas Eve dinner! I was looking for a side dish to complete our 7! Trying to continue the tradition with my girls and I am certain I am the only full-blooded Italian named Jackie Chan hoping to win that beautiful pot! Either way, thanks for the great recipe. Merry Christmas!
Jackie,that contest has ended that post was from a year ago, hope you enjoy the risotto though
Just made this tonight! I’m horrible in the kitchen bit I’m always trying. This was easy to follow and the end result was delicious! Highly recommend, I tried with cilantro rather than parsley if it makes a difference.
OMG!! That looks Amazing! I cannot wait to make this. Love your website. I have made so many of your recipes..THANK YOU!
Looks amazing! I think this would be wonderful for our quite New Years Eve.
Thank you for the great recipes and a chance to win that cool pot!
Your blog is always beautiful and helpful. It’s my go-to whenever I need a special recipe that is colorful and healthy!
Marie: Have a Merry Christmas. Thanks very much for your blog. My wife Jill and I enjoy reading it each time and trying some of the recipes. We plan to do the risotto for New Years. Best of everything for you and your family in 2016.
Tim Ferrier
Love the pot! Can’t wait to make the recipe
I love your blog, it always inspires me to be a little more creative with dishes I cook. You always find such great ways, especially in the summertime, to incorporate vegetables into dishes that just look irresistible.
This looks amazing!
My favorite meal! A fresh maine lobster would look lovely in that!
The risotto looks amazing , I can’t wait to try it. I haven’t been with my family for Chrostmas Evefor for more than tweety years, and am looking forward to using this recipe. The pot is beautiful-it’s going on my must have list.
Merry Christmas !
I love your page. I visit frequently. I would love to have one of these pots to impress my wife by making this risotto. We had one of the best experiences of our lives traveling to Italy and one of our favorite dishes was risotto with marscepone cheese. We tried it in every city we visited. I have followed some of your recipes and believe you are an outstanding cook.
Can’t wait to make this recipe. We love risotto, it make both a wonderful side dish or main dish. Definitely want to get one of these pots!!
What a beautiful pot, it would look gran sitting next to my spaghetti with crab sauce on Christmas eve! Your site is always a reminder of what my Nonna cooked. Happy Holiday season to you and your family.
This may be my favorite recipe ever. Merry Christmas!
That pot is absolutely beautiful as is your risotto! Love following your blog and have tried many of your recipes. Have a great holiday!

Love, Love, love the recipe. Thank you for sharing the pictures! I would love this!!!
I’m still working on perfecting my risotto. I love all of your recipes, so I ‘m sure this will be no different. I’m anxious to try it. The risotto pot is beautiful! I would love to give my son and daughter-in-law an incredible gift like this. They both love to cook and I get to enjoy their efforts. So even if my risotto isn’t the best, I’m sure theirs would be. Merry, Merry, Christmas!
The recipe sounds amazing!
One question, are the shallots finely chopped ?
This looks SO yummy ….and that pot is wonderful! I’d certainly love it as the one I use now is NOT the greatest! Your recipes and pictures always make me hungry and I’ve beenvery happy with every one of yours that I’ve tried.
Looks delicious!!
Sounds delizioso! Can’t wait for a gathering of friends to serve this. Grazie. Buon Natale.
Buon Natale Marie–Do you think this would work if I doubled it? It’s just my daughter and me, but really, who wouldn’t want seconds… or thirds…?
Wow does that look delicious. I have always shied away from risotto because I thought it was a difficult dish to make. Now I am inspired. I know a pot does not make a good cook, but it certainly can’t hurt a novice one like myself!!! Here’s to hoping I win. Thanks.
All of your recipes are out of this world! I cannot wait to try this one. Thank you and Merrry Christmas Marie!!
Absolutely Amazing Marie!! I must try this dish this weekend! Thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes Marie, and your photography is outstanding! Love your blog!! Merry Christmas!! ?

Happy holidays! Thanks for your work, and for sharing with us.
I made the risotto, and it was delicious! Since crab is unavailable fresh on California, instead of Ciappino our traditional New Years dinner … We are going to have your seafood risotto. Thank you
Looks like the perfect meal for a cold, snowy night!
I never even knew there was such a thing as a risotto pot but now I want this badly (with your seafood risotto already made in it!)

How did those stars get on there? LOL I have no clue how I did that?
Another Winner…Marie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your blog. I often use prosecco instead white wine with success. (Because I don’t usually drink the entire bottle when I open it and I could never just dump it down the drain.) It adds a rich sweetness. Looking forward to making this risotto.
That’s it!! I’m making this as one of my seven fishes Christmas Eve dishes. My mouth is watering just looking at it. Thanks again, Marie!! It looks like culinary heaven!!
Belissimo!
I might try this with the fresh seafood medley from Costco. Christmas Eve for sure…anyone make scrungelli??

Oh my heavens — I saw that pot and my heart started palpitating and then when I spied the risotto!! WOW I started drooling all over the keyboard. I hope I don’t short it out. Now this recipe is so special that I’m going to make it on January 24 2016 — my Honey and I will have been married 46 years. This recipe would be perfect for celebrating that milestone. We are such homebodies we rarely go out for dinner, perhaps a lunch now and the. But dinners are our time to relax, sip on some wine and cook together. Thank you Marie, for the opportunity to win the risotto pot but most importantly that special recipe. I’ll be sure to tell you all about our evening — well, ahem, perhaps not everything. Buona giornata!!
This looks wonderful! My husband is half Italian so we try to do seafood for Christmas Eve. I now have my recipe.
I love making Marie’s recipes and I’m sure this one will be delectable too. That Risotto pot is so beautiful it make my mouth water.

Delicious recipe, I would love to make for New Years!
I’ve been cooking with Lagostina pots for over twenty-five years! They last forever, love to try the new risotto pot.
My husband and I had many different risottos while in Lake Como, Italy a few years back. I don’t have the right pot to make it now as my old one was lost in our move…… would love to be chosen. Merry Christmas1
I have Lagostina pots that are twenty- five years old! I still use them , great product. would love to to have this risotto pot.

Oh my goodness… I have always been excited to try your recipes but I can’t wait one day to try this one. It looks INCREDIBLE! I love risotto and I usually make it with mushrooms, rarely deviating. I am so excited to try this one!!!!
I’ve always been a “proud Italian cook (and baker!)” myself, but was always intimidated by risotto, so I’ve never made it. But this recipe (and the gorgeous pot) beckon me… I may step out of my kitchen comfort zone and go for it. Life is too short not to be adventurous in the kitchen. Thank you Marie and Lagostino for the inspiration! The big question is: Do I dare try it for Christmas Eve? I just might! 🙂
This reminds me of the dishes my Italian grandmother used to make at the holidays. Sadly, she kept all of her recipes in her head and they died with her. Thank you for sharing all of your recipes. I have enjoyed many of them!!
Three of my favorite things: lobster, risotto, and beautiful cookware! Thank you for this post; this recipe looks amazing and not too difficult!
Your seafood risotto looks amazing! I’d love to win this pot and make your recipe for New Years. Thank you for your recipes!

Beautiful pot to make the beautiful risotto.
Thanks for introducing me to this line of cookware! I had never heard of it before. This particular pot is stunning. Can’t wait to try your risotto recipe — I’m always adjusting my ‘standards”!
The Lagostino cookware are works of art! The recipe is a classic, it will make me a cooking legend in the eyes of my family! Merry Christmas, enjoy family, and relish them.
Recipe, ingredients, and cookware – first class quality throughout! The risotto pot would be a delight for a serious cook and a huge help for the beginner – thanks for giving us the opportunity to dream during this wonderful season of hope. The recipe will go into use no later than next weekend – will just have to manage with the old work-horse pot and dream of elegance as I stir.
Cheers…..
I have always been intimidated by risotto, but I am inspired to try this recipe. I would love that risotto pot to bolster my courage.
That sounds and looks delicious! Love your recipes!

Why does my comments keep coming up that it is a duplicate when it is not
The recipe looks amazing and look forward to trying this on Christmas eve. The beautiful risotto pot would be a wonderful addition especially for my birthday the same week.
I don’t know what looks better the dish or the pot. I would love to have that for my pasta and calamari on Christmas Eve. It would make a great accent to my table of family and “The feast of 7 fishes”……;)
I make risotto all the time, my Grandma was from Milan. My family really enjoys it. 5 children and 6 grandchildren. Would love to win this pan.

Would love to add this recipe to my Christmas Evev menu. Thanks, Marie.
I made the risotto in my heavy duty fancy French-named pot and it was delicious. I ate it for lunch and then again for dinner. If this risotto pot makes it even more delicious… oh, I do so want one!
ps – I really love that so many of your recipes are for a smaller number of servings.
I never know what to expect except perfection from your site. Every recipe I have made has always been delicious and easy to follow. This seafood risotto sounds wonderful. I gave it a rating of 5 starts based on ease to prepare, ingredients and, of course, the beautiful Risotto pot. No matter what, from henceforth, my risottos will be cooked in this pot. I would love to add this piece of functional art to my collection of necessities.
Please keep the recipes coming.
Merry Christmas and thank you for giving readers the opportunity to receive this beautiful pot.
Looking at your website… as become another of my “family’s traditions”with all your delicious recipes…beautiful presentations…and explicit instructions….grazie….
Bon natale
The plot looks like it truly helped create the perfect risotto.

What a wonderful Christmas gift to me! A tasty recipe & a gorgeous po to pre pare it in!
The recipe looks scrumptious and I always hate to make risotto because you have to stir it almost constantly. Glad to hear that the beautiful and useful pot helps to cut down on the stirring and still ends up being moist and delicious. What a wonderful Christmas recipe; thank you for sharing!

This looks amazing! Love the risotto pot.
With 30 people to wow on Christmas Eve, this is now the star of the night!!! So elegant and I can already see adding some more seafood to it so that it will be one of the courses. Thanks again for a beautiful recipe and Merry Christmas!
What’s not to love here? A great Italian cook, her mouth watering risotto recipe, and a chance to win that beautiful Italian
Risotto Pot. It sounds like the next best thing to a trip to ITALY for Christmas! Thank you for your recipes all year long.
The pot looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Looks absolutely delicious!
Looks delicious
The risotto looks amazing and the pot is beautiful! The winner will be a very lucky cook.
I love risotto but not mine! I’ve never mastered the technique. It’s always too runny or too dry, never that wonderful creamy texture so I don’t make it very often. Maybe i can blame it on the wrong pan! I also loved the tip of enhancing store bought stock with the shrimp. Great idea!!
This is a wonderful risotto. Buon Natale!!
This will make the centerpiece of the seven fishes dinner on Christmas Eve.
We love risotto and I would really enjoy making it in this beautiful pot!!
I love the recipes on this site! Thank you! This one looks spectacular!
Very, very nice risotto pot. It could be the start of a risotto courtship if I win it.
I would love to make risotto in this!
What a joy it would be to make this delicious risotto in such a wonderful pot!
This recipe came at the perfect time! I was searching for a seafood Christmas Eve dish and this popped up in my email! You made my night! Love the pot too!
Absolutely beautiful!! A perfect dish to add to the Christmas Eve menu.
Made shrimp risotto for my husbands family this summer and they loved it!! They never had risotto before. Wait till they see this for Christmas Eve!!
Buon Natale
I so look forward to receiving your emails and enjoy trying to make each recipe. I dream of going to Italy one day and as I create each new menu I feel closer and closer to getting there. Since risotto is a favorite of mine this recipe is sure to be enjoyed regularly. How wonderful it would be to have a real risotto pot to prepare it in.
What a delightful sounding recipe. I would love to have a risotto pan and I would definitely try the recipe.
I usually don’t enter drawings just because I think there are others who need the stuff more than me. Not this time! I’d love to win this since our family loves risotto, and I don’t have a good pot to make it in.
This is a wonderful sounding recipe. I was going to do lobster mac and cheese for Christmas Eve, but I think this sounds so much
better. Thanks for sharing. Please enter my name in the pot give a way. I do hope I win!!!!
First, I absolutely love your site. The risotto looks wonderful and the pot is beautiful.
Love Risotto and would love this pot. Beautiful meal!!!
I can not wait to try this recipe.
Looks like risotto my Nonna used to make. What a wonderful memory at this time of year!
I’m adding this to my Christmas Eve menu. Wow it looks incredible! 4 more fishes to go!
Love risotto, and this one looks especially good! What a great idea for Christmas Eve! Thanks for the wonderful post, Marie!
Sounds perfect for Christmas Eve and the feast of seven fishes. Thanks for the recipe.
This risotto looks awesome. What a wonderful meal for the holidays! Thank you so much for the recipe. The pot looks beautiful too.
I would love to try and make risotto. This recipe might just be the ticket!
This is definitely a great dish for Christmas Eve! Great recipe!
Risotto is my go – to dish when I want to impress my guests. It would be even more impressive when cooked and served in this magnificent risotto pot! Thanks for another great recipe, Marie!
Ooh, Marie…what a treat!
Risotto is one of my very favorite comfort foods. I’ll even crank up the stove to make a pot with fresh sweet corn, red bell pepper, green onions, and jack cheese in the heat of August…it’s that yummy!
This pot will be a real gem for some lucky reader!! Thanks for the opportunity.
my christmas dinner query solved – this is going to be fabulous, even in the fancy french cast iron… grazie…
I have only ever had risotto in a restaurant, but I keep promising myself I will learn to make it at home. I hope to win this beautiful pot. This recipe looks like the one to get started with.
I think making risotto is calming and theraputic. Something in life that refuses to be rushed. Your lobster risotto will make a wonderful New Years Day dinner. The pot is so amazing. I have never seen anything like it; it would make even plain oatmeal look delicious.
This reciepe looks wonderful and I can’t wait to try it. The pot in the giveaway looks like a winner and I hope I am too!
win or lose I am making this recipe!!!
Thank you for the tasty recipe. Perfect dish for Feast of Seven Fishes!
I haven’t made Risotto yet but look forward to starting. It is one of my favorite dishes at restaurants.
I know when I see now
E if your recipes it will be phenomenol !!! As alwAys I look forward to all! Would love to win this give away.
Omg! Christmas Eve risotto……perfect! I can’t wait to make it.
Buon Natale!
Your risotto looks amazing! I would love to recreate it using this pot, if I am selected as the winner! Thanks for hosting such a wonderful give-a-way!
Can’t wait to make this for my family! The pot looks fantastic too! Happy Holidays!
We love risotto! We love this blog! We would love this pot. Know my risotto would be better with this pot. Thank you for the opportunity
Beautiful pot! I visited their web site and WOW! Recipe looks like another benchmark(what all others goals should be) the gold standard, perfection in cuisine. Merry Christmas to all and Bon Appitite!
The risotto looks delicious! Could use a pot like that in my kitchen!!
This pot is gorgeous!!! I have a tea kettle made by the same company. It will last me a life time. Thanks for all your recipes. As has become a tradition, I will be making your Italian fig, date fruit cookies for Christmas. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
What a great looking pot. I have been cooking recipes off your blog for over a year now & everyone thinks I’m the most wonderful cook but it’s really all thanks to you. Your roasted vegetable strudel and Italian meatloaf are staples in our home. Many, many thanks for broadening my cooking abilities & a very Merry Christmas to you & your family.
I confess that I’ve only ever made risotto out of the box, but this beautiful pot would certainly be a reason to learn!
My daughter and husband and first grandchild Luke (aka Luca) just moved four days ago to Naples Italy for a two year assignment with the Navy. Your risotto looks delicious – can’t wait to try it and pass the recipe along for her to try in Italy. Love your recipes ! Thank you
Thank you for the opportunity to win this beautiful risotto pot.
Oh my gosh. What a beautiful piece of cookware and awesome recipe! I really need the pot! I love risotto!
This is such an elegant and festive dish for the holidays. The risotto pot looks so well made. I enjoy all of your recipes and always look forward to the next post.
Wow looks amazing I love lobster! Can’t wait to try
I’ve always wanted to try making a risotto since I love it and order it often in restaurants. This would make it easy for me to try at home.
I love seafood risotto, and make it often. This pot is definitely quality, and I would love to own one!
Yummy! Beautiful and colorful. Thank you for sharing.
Merry Christmas, Marie. Lisa
A beautiful recipe and a beautiful pot. Looks really well made. A wonderful giveaway. Thank you Marie for a chance to win.
Love your blog… And aman risotto…..Buon Natale!
Beautiful dish! I am always hesitant to make risotto at home because I have an extremely active 3 year old who would make it difficult to stand at the stove stirring the rice. Sounds like this pot might help me out a bit. I love seafood risotto followed closely by mushroom risotto.
Great recipe and pot. Buona Natale
I’m Italian but never enjoyed our Christmas Eve 7 fishes tradition. This recipe looks wonderful; I think I have found my replacement for 7 fishes without feeling guilty.
That looks amazing! I love risotto.
Looks delicious and what a lovely pot!! Fingers crossed for a win!
I can’t wait to make this recipe! Your blog has been my favorite for several years and I have loved every recipe that I have tried! Hope to win the risotto pot! Thanks for all of your posts….
Great recipe! I will have many people in my home. 🙂
Yes, yes……would love this super risotto pot. Please tell me you are sending it my way. Love your site and your recipes…and your comments.
Love to follow your blog!
I bought risotto in Italy while at a cooking school. I can’t wait to make this recipe.
I found it! The recipe I will be making on Christmas Eve! I have searched high and low for a recipe that features lobster and shrimp- the only 2 fishes my son eats. He has been begging for something with lobster for Christmas Eve. I can’t wait to try it. He will be thrilled and so will I as I want to do something special for him when he comes home from college! And WOW is that pot beautiful!?
wow… both the risotto and the pot look amazing!

Seafood risotto is one of my favorite dishes, especially with lobster!

I can’t wait to make this recipe, nothing I love more than risotto!! And that is quite possibly the most beautiful pot I have ever seen… if I were lucky enough to win… I would leave it out on display… seriously!!! LOL!!!
First, I absolutely love your site Marie & Italian food!!! This risotto pot is so beautiful & I love risotto. It is one of the foods I can eat easily since I had to have my whole stomach removed & I also have a feeding tube in. I don’t have a lot of good cookware for preparing certain foods so this pot would be so perfect in my kitchen & would make preparing risotto so much easier for me. I have such a hard time preparing some foods since I don’t eat the way everyone else does. Wow, I really hope I can win this!!! It would make me want to go into my kitchen & prepare this wonderful recipe & seafood is one of my favorites as well as the protein I get from eating seafood. Thank you so much for this contest & it would be an absolutely wonderful Christmas present to myself!!!
What a nice giveaway! The pot is gorgeous, but your risotto is grand!
When I opened this email my mouth immediately began to water! Then I showed my wife(who absolutely loves seafood risotto!)and she automatically said,that’s tomorrow nights dinner! Love the recipe and the pot! Thank you and a very Merry Christmas to all!
What a great recipe! I heard a chef on television say you can cook in any pot, but I have to say I think when you have a proper pot it ups your game.
