Shrimp Radicchio Red Wine Risotto Recipes

SHRIMP, RADICCHIO, & RED WINE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Bring broth and water to a simmer in a 3 quart saucepan and maintain simmer. Cook onion in butter with bay leaf and salt in a heavy pot over medium heat, stirring until onion is pale golden, about 10 minutes. While onion is cooking, cook the radicchio in boiling salt water until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking. Drain and squeeze dry. Add rice to the onions and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes. Add the wine and boil, stirring until most of the wine is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in ½ cup simmering broth mixture and cook, stirring constantly until most of the broth is absorbed. Continue cooking risotto and adding broth about ½ cup at a time until rice is tender and creamy-looking, about 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and add the radicchio and cheese and cook until heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

SHRIMP-AND- RADICCHIO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, dissolve the salt in 2 cups of water, add the shrimp and soak for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold running water.
• Place the radicchio halves in a pan just large enough to hold them. Put a tablespoon of butter on each half and roast, basting frequently for 40 minutes. Cool; slice thinly.
• Warm the stock in a pot over low heat. With the oil and remaining butter, saute the onion until softened in a large pan. Add the rice to the pan and stir for 2 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of the stock and gently stir over medium heat until it is mostly absorbed. Continue with the remaining liquid, adding 1/2 cup at a time as the rice dries, stirring and scraping the rice off the bottom and sides of the pot.
• When 1 cup of the stock remains, add half of it, along with the radicchio; stir 2 minutes. Pour in the remaining stock and stir briefly. Smooth the top of the rice and place the raw shrimp on top. Add the salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover the pot. Over low heat, steam until the shrimp are done, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat; stir. Serve, adjusting the salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Put stock in a medium saucepan and keep hot over low heat.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan. Add garlic and onion and cook 3 minutes over medium-high heat.
• Add the rice and stir to coat with butter. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until evaporated.
• Add enough hot stock to cover the rice. Stir constantly until most of the liquid has evaporated. Repeat until the risotto is creamy and tender, about 20 minutes. About 3 minutes before the risotto is finished cooking, stir in the shrimp and radicchio.
• Remove from heat. Stir in remaining tablespoon of butter, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

RISOTTO WITH SHRIMP AND RADICCHIO

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil, add the medium onion and saute 5 minutes. Add the celery and tomato and saute 2 minutes. Add the shrimp shells, fish bones, 1 cup wine and water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes; strain. Place broth in a saucepan and keep at a bare simmer.
• In a large, heavy saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add small onion and cook until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in 1/3 cup wine, then 1/2 cup broth. Cook 3 minutes. Stir in radicchio.
• Add broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and adding more broth as it is absorbed by the rice. Adjust heat so rice and broth cook at a steady simmer. After about 15 minutes, the rice should be somewhat tender and some broth should be left. Stir in all but 4 shrimp.
• Cook another few minutes, adding broth as needed, until rice is al dente. Stir in brandy and 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with shrimp and parsley; serve immediately.
