Lemony Shrimp And Risotto Recipes

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!

LEMONY SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add shallots and garlic. Cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in white wine and simmer until wine is reduced by half. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in rice. Keep stirring until all the liquid has been absorbed.
• Next add hot stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until liquid is absorbed. Continue this process, adding stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition, until rice is al dente. You may not need the full 3 cups so test the rice after 20 minutes or when you've used 2 1/2 cups of the stock and adjust accordingly.
• Turn heat to lowest setting and add Parmesan cheese, cream, and lemon juice. Stir until cheese has melted and everything has been incorporated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and turn heat off.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat and add shrimp. Cook until shrimp tails curl up, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
• To serve, spoon risotto into bowls, top with shrimp and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedge if desired.

INSTANT POT LEMONY SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Set the Instant Pot or other multicooker to Sauté and add 1 tablespoon of the extra virgin olive oil. When the oil is hot add the shrimp and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Sauté the shrimp until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes, then transfer to a medium bowl. Press Cancel. Toss the shrimp with the lemon zest and crushed red pepper, if using.
• Set the Instant Pot to Sauté again. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and shallot and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until the rice is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and another 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot. Lock the lid and set to cook on high pressure for 6 minutes.
• When cooking is complete, press Cancel and carefully quick-release the pressure.
• Stir for a minute or two to thicken the risotto, then add the spinach, butter, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring just until the spinach is wilted. Serve topped with the shrimp and their juices.

• Stir in 1/2 cup broth mixture and briskly simmer, stirring frequently, until absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until rice is creamy and tender but still al dente (it should be the consistency of thick soup), about 18 minutes. There will be some left-over broth mixture.
• Sir in shrimp, zest and remaining2 tbsp butter, parmesan, parsley and pepper to taste. (thin risotto with some of remaining broth if necessary).

Steps:

• Peel and devein shrimp. Bring clam juice to a boil and add shrimp shells; reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes. Keep warm over very low heat.
