Shrimp Radicchio Red Wine Risotto Recipes

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.

RADICCHIO AND RED-WINE RISSOTO

Steps:

• Bring broth and water to a simmer in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart saucepan and keep at a bare simmer.
• Cook onion in butter with bay leaf and salt in a wide 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is pale golden, about 10 minutes.
• While onion is cooking, cook radicchio in boiling salted water in a 4- to 6-quart pot until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain and squeeze dry.
• Add rice to onion and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add wine and boil, stirring, until most of wine is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup simmering broth mixture and cook, stirring constantly and keeping at a strong simmer, until most of broth is absorbed. Continue cooking risotto and adding broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until rice is tender and creamy-looking but still al dente, about 18 minutes total (you may have some broth left over). Discard bay leaf, then add radicchio and cheese and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

RISOTTO WITH SHRIMP AND RADICCHIO

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.

SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Bring broth and 1/4 cup wine to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat; keep hot.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon garlic and crushed red pepper, then shrimp. Sauté until shrimp begin to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup wine. Simmer until shrimp are just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Drain shrimp, reserving cooking liquid.
• Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and remaining 1 teaspoon garlic; sauté until onion is pale golden, about 4 minutes. Add rice and stir to coat, about 2 minutes. Add 2 cups broth mixture. Simmer until liquid is absorbed, stirring often. Continue adding broth mixture 1 cup at a time, stirring often and simmering until liquid is absorbed before adding more, about 20 minutes. Stir in reserved shrimp cooking liquid. Cook until rice is just tender and mixture is creamy, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
• Stir shrimp and 2 tablespoons parsley into risotto. Season risotto to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowls. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons parsley.

RADICCHIO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Bring 3 1/2 cups broth to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low; keep broth warm. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high. Add shallots; sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Add radicchio; sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add rice; stir 1 minute. Add wine; stir until liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Mix in 1 cup broth. Reduce heat to medium; cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring often. Continue cooking until rice is tender but still slightly firm in center and mixture is creamy, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time and stirring often, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Add cheese and butter to risotto; stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into bowls and serve.

RADICCHIO OR RED ENDIVE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Put your stock or broth into a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer over low heat with a ladle nearby or in the pot. Make sure that it is well seasoned.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet or in a large, wide saucepan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, about three minutes. Do not brown.
• Add the rice and the garlic, and stir until the grains separate and begin to crackle. Add the wine, and stir until it has been absorbed. Begin adding the simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock, and continue to cook in this fashion, stirring in more stock when the rice is almost dry. You do not have to stir constantly, but stir often. After 10 minutes, stir in the radicchio or endive, and continue to cook in the same fashion until the rice is tender all the way through but still chewy, about 15 minutes. Taste now and adjust seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add another ladleful of stock to the rice, along with the Parmesan and the parsley, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy (add more stock if it isn't). Stir for about half a minute, then serve in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than a mound.
