Ingredients
300g cleaned and peeled shrimp
1 ½ cups arborio rice (suitable for risotto)
4 cups vegetable broth or shrimp broth
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley to garnish
Directions
- In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth or shrimp broth over medium heat.Â
Keep it warm throughout the risotto preparation process. - In another large saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.Â
Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until soft and lightly browned. - Add the arborio rice to the pan and stir well so that all the grains are coated in the butter.Â
Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. - Pour the white wine into the pan and stir until the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
- Add a ladle of the hot stock to the pan and stir until absorbed.Â
Continue adding ladles of broth, one at a time, stirring constantly, until the rice is al dente and creamy.Â
This process takes about 20-25 minutes. - While the risotto is cooking, season the shrimp with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
- In another skillet, melt remaining butter over medium-high heat.Â
Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and cooked through.Â
Remove from pan and set aside. - When the risotto is ready, turn off the heat and add the grated Parmesan cheese.Â
Stir well to incorporate the cheese into the risotto. - Add the cooked shrimp to the risotto and mix gently.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Serve the shrimp risotto immediately, garnished with chopped parsley on top.
