Ingredients Needed:

• 1.2 liters of chicken broth
• 30g unsalted butter or olive oil
• 40g finely chopped shallots
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 200g Arborio rice
• Kosher salt, to taste
• 120ml dry white wine
• 450g raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 100g finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Chopped parsley or chives, for garnish

How To Make Shrimp Risotto Recipe?

1. Heat Broth: Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a saucepan, then keep warm on low heat.
2. Cook Shallots and Garlic: Heat butter (or oil) in a large pan, add shallots, and cook until soft (about 4 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Cook Rice: Stir in rice, season with salt, and cook for 2–5 minutes until the rice is slightly translucent.
4. Add Liquid: Add 120ml (½ cup) of warm broth and a splash of wine. Stir until absorbed. Continue adding broth (½ cup at a time) with wine, stirring until liquid is absorbed until the rice is tender (about 25–35 minutes).
5. Cook Shrimp: Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In another pan, heat butter (or oil), add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sear shrimp for 2 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for 1–2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
6. Finish Risotto: Stir Parmesan cheese and pepper into the rice. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
7. Serve: Top with shrimp, more cheese, and garnish with parsley or chives.

Recipe Tips:

• Keep Broth Warm: Make sure the broth is warm when you add it to the rice. The cold liquid will slow down cooking and change the texture.
• Stir Often: Stir the rice regularly to make it creamy. This helps release the starch and gives the right texture.
• Add Liquid Slowly: Add the broth in small amounts. Let the rice absorb it before adding more for creaminess.
• Don’t Overcook Shrimp: Cook shrimp until pink and firm. If overcooked, it will become tough.
• Rest Before Serving: Let the risotto sit for a few minutes. This helps the flavors blend better.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Shrimp Risotto cool to room temperature. Once cooled, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Freeze: You can freeze Shrimp Risotto for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Reheat the risotto in a pan over low heat with some broth, stirring for 5-7 minutes until warm.
