    List of Ingredients




    Serves 4
    Vegetable oil spray

    1 medium leek, sliced

    2 cloves garlic, minced, or 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic

    1 cup Arborio rice or medium-grain rice (about 8 ounces)

    1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

    1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

    1 cup dry white wine or nonalcoholic white wine

    8 ounces bay scallops, rinsed

    8 ounces medium shrimp in shells, rinsed, peeled, and deveined

    3 ounces fresh snow pea pods, trimmed and halved crosswise

    1/2 medium red bell pepper, chopped

    3 tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

    2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried, crumbled

    1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons finely shredded lemon peel

    Grated or shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

    Recipe



    Spray a medium saucepan with vegetable oil spray. Cook leek and garlic over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until leek is tender.

    Add rice. Stir well. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.

    Add 1 1/2 cups of broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.

    Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add remaining chicken broth and wine. Increase heat to medium and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly (some liquid should remain). Add scallops, shrimp, pea pods, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is almost absorbed, about 5 minutes (rice should be just tender and slightly creamy).

    Stir in 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, basil, and lemon peel. Heat through. Serve immediately. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
