Procedure for making Risotto with pineapple, prawns and scampi shaded with brandy

I peeled and cleaned the prawns and prawns well, removing the black thread from the back, I sautéed them in a pan with a drop of oil and blended with 2 fingers of cognac and put them aside. In the meantime, with the shellfish shells, I prepared the fumet to be used for cooking the risotto. In a pan, I put some butter to melt, I added the leek, the onion cut into small pieces and the garlic clove, I let it flavor for a few minutes and I added the shellfish shells, then I blended with the white wine and as soon as the alcohol evaporated, I covered everything with water and left it to cook for about an hour. After cooking, I filtered the fumet with a very tight mesh strainer.

At this point, having the basics ready, I started preparing the risotto. In a large pan, I poured the oil with the chopped shallot, after a few minutes I added the rice and let it toast. I blended with the white wine and I added a part of the pineapple slices that I cut into small pieces, together with its juice, the prawns and the scampi. Throughout the cooking time, I gradually added broth and fumet.
At the end of cooking I added the remaining part of the pineapple, a part of pomegranate grains and I whipped with butter and Parmesan.
I served by adding a sprinkling of chopped licorice and decorating with the remaining pomegranate grains.
The recipe was made by Amerigo Morgia.
