Savor the Flavors: Seafood Risotto Meets Mango Salsa

Exploring the Uncharted: Seafood Risotto with Mango Salsa

Today, I am excited to share an exotic recipe that combines the rich flavors of seafood with a refreshing twist of mango salsa. As we approach the warmer months, I find myself craving dishes that are light yet satisfying, and this seafood risotto with mango salsa hits all the right notes.

For this unique dish, you will need the following ingredients:

• 200g shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 150g calamari rings
• 300g Arborio rice
• 100ml white wine
• 800ml chicken broth
• 1 onion (finely chopped)
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 150g cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 ripe mango (diced)
• 1 red bell pepper (diced)
• 1 lime (juiced)
• Handful of fresh cilantro (chopped)
• Salt and pepper to taste

To bring this dish to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• large skillet
• wooden spoon
• saucepan
• chef’s knife
• cutting board

Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat and sautéing the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add in the Arborio rice and toast it for a couple of minutes before deglazing the skillet with white wine.

Once the wine has evaporated, begin adding the chicken broth gradually, stirring the rice constantly until it absorbs the liquid. Continue this process until the rice is al dente and creamy.

In a separate saucepan, heat a bit of oil and quickly sauté the shrimp and calamari rings until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

For the mango salsa, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, spoon the creamy risotto onto plates and top with the sautéed seafood. Finish with a generous dollop of the refreshing mango salsa on top.

This seafood risotto with mango salsa weighs approximately 1200g once cooked and serves 4. Each serving weighs around 300g and has an estimated calorie count of 450.

A clever tip for this dish is to add a splash of coconut milk to the risotto for a subtle tropical flavor that complements the mango salsa beautifully.

I hope you give this exotic recipe a try and make it your own by experimenting with different seafood and fruit combinations. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
