Preparation
- Step 1
Place mussels in a saucepan with ½ cup chardonnay. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat until mussels open, about 5 minutes. Reserve 4 mussels in shells, shuck remainder, and strain and reserve broth.
- Step 2
Heat oil in a heavy shallow saucepan. Add shallots and ginger, and sauté over low heat until soft. Stir in rice and cook briefly. Add remaining wine. When wine has been absorbed by rice, add mussel liquid. Cook over medium-low heat until it is absorbed, then gradually add fish stock, ½ cup at a time, until rice is nearly al dente but still moist and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 3
Stir in scallops and shrimp, and cook about 5 minutes, until seafood is cooked. Stir in shucked mussels, butter and chives. Divide among 4 shallow soup plates, garnish each portion with a mussel in the shell, and serve.

I neglected to use the ginger, somehow I didn't even see it in the recipe, but this dish was terrific. I sauteed the shrimp and scallops separately in butter and topped the finished rice with these, along with the pan scrapin's after I deglazed it with a little white wine and water. The missus was very happy....
A delicious and sophisticated recipe. Mark Bittman's homemade fish stock is quick to put together and a must for this dish. I've also substituted a small piece of a white fish for either the shrimp or scallops to make it a bit more friendly on the pocketbook.
When we go to the beach I always make some seafood dishes. I added this to the repertoire this time and we LOVED it! I wasn't able to find fish stock so I did one jar of clam juice with three cups of vegetable broth and it worked well. I realized while I was cooking that I forgot to bring ginger and dill. I'm sure that would add some depth of flavor but we didn't miss it. This recipe is a keeper!
Can I use a white wine other than Chardonnay and can I use frozen shrimp?
I made this for a dinner party, where it was a unanimous hit. Even the notoriously picky eater got second helpings! The only modifications I made were for the fish stock. As others suggested, I used 1 cup clam juice and 3 cups chicken stock. I also seared the scallops first to give them some nice color. Would definitely make again.
Very nice. I used shrimp stock for the liquid. Flavor had depth and rice was cooked perfectly. Nice idea to garnish with a mussel (or 2) in its shell.
