Creamy Risotto With Shrimp Recipes

SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients for the shrimp.
• Heat the olive oil on high heat in a large skillet. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper.
• Sear the shrimp to golden brown on both sides. Remove the shrimp from the heat.
• Turn the heat to medium-low. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the pan and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the white wine and lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Allow the sauce to reduce by about a third. This will take about 5 minutes.
• Whisk in the remaining butter and the parsley. Set aside the sauce in a small saucepan.
• Wipe out the shrimp pan and gather your ingredients for the risotto. Heat the chicken stock in another small saucepan.
• Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in the large skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the shallots and garlic. Sauté on medium-low heat until the shallots are translucent, about 2 minutes.
• Add the Arborio rice and toss to coat in the oil and butter. Sauté until the rice is very lightly browned.
• Add a ladleful of the hot stock and stir until the stock is absorbed. Repeat, adding a ladle or two of stock at a time, until the rice is al dente, and you have used most of (or all of) the stock. This will take about 20 minutes. The rice will be creamy.
• Turn off the heat and top with another ladleful of stock, the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and cover with a lid. Heat the shrimp sauce until simmering. Toss the shrimp into the sauce to warm them back up.
• Ladle the risotto into warm bowls and top with an equal amount of shrimp and sauce. Top with more Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve immediately with a glass of white wine .
