Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups pearled farro
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs, such as tarragon, chives, basil, flat-leaf parsley, or chervil, plus small whole leaves for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring broth and 2 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Heat oil in another medium saucepan over medium. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add farro; cook, stirring constantly, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed.
  • Add 1/2 cup broth mixture and cook, stirring, until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth in this manner, 1/2 cup at a time, until farro is tender but still slightly firm, about 30 minutes. (You may not need all of broth.) Stir in shrimp and peas and cook until shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cheese, scallion greens, and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls, top with herb leaves, and serve.

Not a fan of the farro. I think it's too chewy. Would have preferred traditional arborio rice.

Fantastic dish! I would recommend adding some fresh herbs, like basil or thyme, to the sauce for an extra pop of flavor.

The risotto was a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This was my first time making risotto. I was worried it would be too difficult, but this recipe made it easy. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful.

Had some leftover shrimp, so I thought I'd try out this recipe. Turned out amazing! The farro was cooked perfectly and the sauce was nice and creamy.

Meh. It was okay. I don't think I'll make it again. There are better risotto recipes out there.

I'm giving this recipe 5 stars because it was absolutely delicious! I had never used farro before, but it has a wonderful nutty flavor and chewy texture that worked perfectly with the shrimp and mushrooms. I also loved the lemony white wine sauce. De
