Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 large shrimp, peeled, deveined, cleaned, and minced, heads and shells reserved
1/2 onion, cut julienne style
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces carnaroli rice
1 (6-ounce) glass Champagne
1 ounce tomatoes, cubed
16 ounces water
Salt
1 onion, cubed
1 carrot, diced
1 celery, diced
Shell and heads of shrimp
Freshly ground black pepper
Chervil leaves

Steps:

  • Wash the shrimp, clean away the heads and the shells. Devein and cut into small pieces.
  • To make the shrimp broth, use a large pot and boil the water with some salt, add the onion, carrot, celery, and shells and boil for approximately 20 minutes. Cool and set aside. Strain and reserve broth.
  • Cut the onion into julienne style strips and lightly fry in the olive oil. Add the rice and toast on high heat, mixing continuously to avoid burning for approximately 5 minutes. Add the glass of Champagne, allow it to reduce, then add the shrimp broth and continue mixing for another minute.
  • After simmering for 10 minutes, add half of the minced shrimp and keep cooking for an additional minute. Add the remaining shrimp and diced tomatoes and cook for an additional minute.
  • Remove the rice from the heat and whip the rice with the extra-virgin olive oil and some more Champagne.
  • Allow the dish to stand for a few minutes and garnish with chervil before serving.

This risotto was amazing! The rice was cooked perfectly and the scampi were cooked to perfection. The champagne sauce was rich and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this dish to anyone who loves seafood.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste. The rice was cooked perfectly and the scampi were delicious, but the sauce was a bit too heavy. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

This risotto was a bit of a disappointment. The rice was overcooked and the scampi were tough. The champagne sauce was also bland. I think I will stick to my usual risotto recipe.

I thought this risotto was just okay. The flavors were good, but the rice was a bit too al dente for my liking. I also found the dish to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more salt and pepper.

This risotto was delicious, but it was a bit too rich for my taste. Next time, I will use less butter and cream. I also think it would be good to add some vegetables, such as peas or asparagus.

This was my first time making risotto and it turned out great! The instructions were easy to follow and the dish was ready in under an hour. I used frozen scampi and they worked just fine. I will definitely be making this again.
