SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the saffron, and reduce the heat to medium low.
• Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a heavy medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and stir until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the rice, season with salt and pepper, and stir until all of the grains are well coated with the fat and onions, and the rice is turning slightly translucent, about 2 minutes.
• Add the white wine, if using, and stir until it is almost completely absorbed into the rice, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the hot broth and simmer, stirring frequently, until the liquid is almost absorbed, about 3 minutes. Continue adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring often and simmering until the liquid is almost absorbed before adding more (you can add some water to the pot of broth if it looks like you might run low). After about 16 to 18 minutes, when the rice is still quite al dente but the dish is starting to look creamy, stir in the shrimp and another 1/2 cup of the broth and stir frequently until the shrimp are almost cooked through and the rice is al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Add another 1/2 cup of liquid if the mixture is too thick (you want it to be quite loose).
• Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the Parmesan. Taste and adjust the seasoning, and add a bit more broth if necessary to achieve the desired texture. Quickly ladle into a serving bowl, or individual bowls and serve immediately with the parsley and more Parmesan, if using.

INSTANT POT SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Optional - Dry Brine Shrimps: Thaw ½ lb (227g) frozen shrimps under cold running water for a few minutes. Dry well with paper towels. In a medium mixing bowl, mix 1/8 tsp (0.75g) baking soda and ½ tsp (3g) kosher salt with the well dried shrimps. Place in the fridge and dry brine for 30 minutes.
• Prepare Pressure Cooker: Heat up your pressure cooker (Instant Pot: press Sauté button and Adjust once to Sauté More function) over medium high heat. Ensure your pot is as hot as it can be (Instant Pot: wait until indicator says HOT).
• Sauté Shallots, Garlic and Shrimps: Pour in 3 tbsp (45ml) olive oil, 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter to the pot. Ensure to coat oil over whole bottom of the pot. Sauté minced shallots (50g) and minced garlic (10g) until soften and fragrant. Add in dry brined shrimps. Cook for about 1 minute per side until the shrimps are about 80% cooked. Remove shrimps and set aside to allow the residual heat to finish cooking them.
• Add Rice and Season: Add 2 cups (400g) Arborio rice into the garlic butter oil. Stir until rice is evenly coated with the oil. Continue to stir the rice. After 2 - 3 minutes, the edges of the Arborio rice should become translucent, while the center remains white. Pour in 2 tsp (10ml) Japanese soy sauce and 2.5 tbsp (45g) white or yellow miso paste. Mix well with the rice.
• Deglaze: Pour in ¾ cup (188ml) cooking sake, fully deglaze the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Stir and let the sake boil for roughly a minute allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
• Pressure Cook Risotto: Pour in 4 cups (1L) homemade fish stock. It is a good time now to make sure no rice or shallot pieces stick to the sides of the pot. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes + Quick Release. Open the lid carefully. Softer Risotto: This cooking time will produce al-dente risotto. If you prefer softer risotto, add an extra minute or two on the cooking time.
• Peel Shrimps: While the risotto is pressure cooking, peel the shrimps.
• Optional Step: Warm serving plates in the oven (Hot serving plates will ensure the best consistency).
• Reduce Risotto: Your pressure cooked risotto should look runny. Stir to combine with a silicone spatula to form a creamy and smooth consistency. If it is too runny, stir and cook for a few minutes longer over medium heat (Instant Pot: Press Sauté button). Add in 0.7oz (20g) Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced green onions. Mix well. Taste and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
• Serve: Place cooked shrimps on top and serve immediately with more Parmesan cheese :)

SHRIMP SCAMPI-STYLE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat a wide-bottomed skillet over medium heat, coating with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, or enough to fully coat the surface. Add the shrimp and a pinch of salt and pepper. Do not stir at first. You want to brown the shrimp on one side. When the shrimp has browned lightly on one side and begins to turn pink, stir and cook another minute more, until the shrimp is just pink but not fully cooked. Remove from heat and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add another tablespoon or two of olive oil to the skillet. Add the rice and stir until the rice becomes coated in the oil and turns translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, garlic, and 1 3/4 teaspoons of salt. Stir until the liquid mostly evaporates.
• Add water one cup at a time, stirring frequently between additions. Add the next cup of water when the previous liquid is almost evaporated.
• After the last addition of water, add the shrimp back to the pan and cook, stirring. Add the butter, pepper, and parsley. Stir to combine. Taste for seasoning. The rice should be al dente and creamy.PRO TIP: The texture should be a bit loose. Rather that sit upright in lump form on a plate, the risotto should hold together, but spread slightly in a bowl. If the risotto is not there, add a bit more water and stir vigorously.
• Spoon into pasta bowls and garnish with parsley and a wedge of lemon. Serve immediately.

• 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.

• 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.

5-INGREDIENT SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Put the shrimp shells and tails, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium saucepan. Cover with 7 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Strain the shrimp broth into a large liquid measuring cup. Discard the shells and garlic. You should be left with 6 cups of broth. If the broth reduced more, just supplement with a little extra water to yield 6 cups. Add the broth back into the empty saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
• Heat a large straight-sided skillet or braiser over medium-high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add the chopped shrimp and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining 3 cloves of garlic and set aside. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium low and add 1 tablespoon of oil if the skillet is too dry, then add the sliced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Stir in the arborio rice until coated with the oil. Add the lemon juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has been mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes.
• Ladle 1 cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes; you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center.
• Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente and creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. If you run out of broth before the risotto is at its desired doneness, add some water.
• Stir in the arugula, shrimp and half of the lemon zest and cook until the arugula wilts slightly.
• Serve topped with the remaining lemon zest.
