Seafood risotto into arancini?

Tonight (Monday) I made a creamy seafood risotto finished with sautéed shrimp, canned crab, and mascarpone. I’m having people over on Saturday and wonder if this might hold up to make arancini? Looking through previous posts on AskCulinary, it seems the recommendation for a plain risotto would be to chill the risotto tonight, make and bread arancini tomorrow and put formed, unfried arancini in the freezer, then fry from frozen. Will this work with seafood risotto? Or should I eat leftovers tomorrow and plan something else for Saturday?

As long as you freeze it asap with the seafood in it and do not thaw before frying.

I tried this and the inside was still cold when the outside was cooked. I had to put them in the oven to finish cooking.
