Lemon Risotto With Shrimp Recipes

LEMON RISOTTO WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Add the stock and wine to a pan on high heat. You'll want to reduce the heat to low just before it boils.
• Melt the butter in a skillet on medium heat.
• Chop shallot and mince garlic then add to the skillet and cook for a couple of minutes, taking care not to brown them.
• Add the rice to the skillet and stir constantly for a couple of minutes, ensuring that it's coated in the butter. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Add the liquid into the rice one ladle at a time, adding more once the rice absorbs it. Make sure you stir constantly. Repeat this process until you've used up all the liquid and the risotto is al dente and nice and creamy.
• Once you've used up all the liquid, add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• You can add the shrimp in at this point and cook them for a few minutes until they're done. Alternatively, if you don't want to mix the shrimp in, you can cook them in a separate pan in some olive oil (also feel free to add more garlic, salt & pepper, and some lemon juice). I cooked them separately for the photos, but I don't think this is necessary.
• Serve risotto with freshly grated parmesan cheese. The cheese can be stirred in prior to serving or sprinkled on top.

LEMON RISOTTO WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook until the shrimp are just opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the shrimp and juices to a bowl to cool.
• Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil to the pan. Add the fennel and onions. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, 30 seconds. Add the rice. Stir until well coated and translucent in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the wine. Cook until the wine is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, lemon juice, zest, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the rice is just tender but still has some bite and the risotto is creamy, stirring often, 13 to 14 minutes.
• Mix in the arugula. Stir until the arugula wilts, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp. Mix in additional broth if needed, 1/4 cup at a time, until the risotto is creamy.
• Spoon the risotto into 4 shallow soup bowls.

RISOTTO WITH LEMON AND SHRIMP FOR TWO

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottom pot such as a Dutch-oven, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat up over medium-high heat. Brown the shrimp on both sides without fully cooking them through, about 1 minute per side. Remove and set aside on a plate.
• In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil, then add the onions and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes, then add the risotto and cook, stirring gently, to toast it. Add the lemon zest and juice and turn the heat to medium; add the white wine. Continue stirring until most of the wine has cooked off, 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly add about 1/2 cup of chicken broth, and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has been absorbed; then add another 1/2 cup chicken broth. Continue doing so in this manner until the risotto is fully cooked through and the liquid has been completely absorbed. (You may need more or less than the 3 1/2 cups of chicken broth.)
• Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add the shrimp back in. Toss to incorporate and cook until the shrimp are cooked all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide evenly into 2 bowls and serve!

• After 15 to 20 minutes, the rice will be creamy and cooked but still slightly al dente. Preheat the broiler and place the shrimp on a baking sheet, shell-side down. Season them with salt and pepper, then drizzle over the remaining olive oil. Broil the shrimp just until they turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
