100ml of white wine
1 pinch of saffron
100g of prawns, peeled

Instructions
In a heavy saucepan, add the olive oil, onion, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Cook on a low heat for 10 minutes, cook the onion, until soft and translucent
Add the rice to the pan and with a wooden spoon, mix the rice into the onions. Once you hear the rice crack, add the white wine followed by a ladleful of stock and then the saffron and begin to stir. Make sure the rice has fully absorbed the stock before you add another ladle. Continue adding stock until the rice is tender and cooked through
Beat the butter into the rice and add the prawns, mussels and lastly - the sliced scallops, peas and herbs. Stir with care, as you want to just warm the seafood and gently cook the scallops
Finish with some grated Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Divide the risotto between plates or bowls and serve immediately
