Stir in arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.

Pour in white wine and stir until absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.

Gradually add fish stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed before adding more.

Continue adding stock until rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes total.

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add seafood mix and stir gently.

Remove from heat and stir in butter, grated parmesan, lemon zest, and chopped parsley.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
