5-INGREDIENT SHRIMP RISOTTO



5-Ingredient Shrimp Risotto image

This shrimp risotto uses the shrimp shells and tails to create a flavorful stock that will infuse into the rice as it cooks! The bright lemon combined with the homemade stock and peppery arugula creates a taste that's so bold, you'll never believe it only took 5 ingredients to make!

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound large shell-on shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped into 1-inch pieces, shells and tails reserved
6 cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
1 cup packed baby arugula, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)

Steps:

  • Put the shrimp shells and tails, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium saucepan. Cover with 7 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Strain the shrimp broth into a large liquid measuring cup. Discard the shells and garlic. You should be left with 6 cups of broth. If the broth reduced more, just supplement with a little extra water to yield 6 cups. Add the broth back into the empty saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
  • Heat a large straight-sided skillet or braiser over medium-high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add the chopped shrimp and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining 3 cloves of garlic and set aside. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low and add 1 tablespoon of oil if the skillet is too dry, then add the sliced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Stir in the arborio rice until coated with the oil. Add the lemon juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has been mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes.
  • Ladle 1 cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes; you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center.
  • Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente and creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. If you run out of broth before the risotto is at its desired doneness, add some water.
  • Stir in the arugula, shrimp and half of the lemon zest and cook until the arugula wilts slightly.
  • Serve topped with the remaining lemon zest.

SHRIMP RISOTTO



Shrimp Risotto image

Risotto can often be an intimidating dish, but this recipe, adapted from Rick Moonen and Roy Finamore's "Fish Without a Doubt," doesn't have to be. It came to The Times in 2009, part of Emily Weinstein's column on learning to cook. It worked for her, even though she didn't prepare any of the ingredients ahead of time - or stir constantly as so many risotto recipes demand. Feel free to adapt the recipe as she did, substituting packaged seafood stock for the homemade shrimp stock, and chopped basil for the basil-infused oil.

Provided by Emily Weinstein

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups shrimp stock
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup minced shallots
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup Arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 pound shrimp, shelled and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
Basil oil

Steps:

  • Bring the stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan; keep at a gentle simmer.
  • Meanwhile, heat a wide saucepan or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, shallots, and garlic and cook until the shallots have softened, about 2 minutes. Pour in the rice and cook, stirring pretty much constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes, so the rice can drink up the oil. When it's ready for the next step, the rice will make a different sound as you stir it, almost as if you are stirring tiny pebbles.
  • Pour in the wine and stir. Season with salt and white pepper and bring to a simmer. Now's the time to start monitoring the heat. You want the liquid at a steady simmer, moving but not bubbling away like a lunatic. Stir often, scraping the bottom of the pan. When most of the wine has been absorbed - when you scrape across the center of the pan, you'll leave a moat - ladle in 1 cup of the shrimp stock. Keep at a simmer, stirring away until the rice drinks up most of this liquid. Continue the process, adding stock by the cupful, until you've added 3 cups of stock.
  • Add the shrimp and tomatoes with the last cup of stock and simmer until the rice is al dente and still saucy.
  • Divide the risotto among four soup plates. Spoon a ribbon of basil oil around the risotto in each bowl. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will result in a better-tasting risotto.
  • Cook the rice properly: Risotto is a delicate dish, and the rice needs to be cooked slowly and evenly in order to achieve the perfect texture. Don't rush the process.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the risotto, so it's important to use a good quality one. Homemade broth is always best, but you can also use a good quality store-bought broth.
  • Add the ingredients gradually: Don't add all of the ingredients at once. Add them gradually, so that the flavors have a chance to meld together.
  • Stir constantly: Risotto is a labor of love, and it requires constant stirring. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and will also help to create a creamy texture.
  • Finish with cheese and butter: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some grated Parmesan cheese and a knob of butter. This will add richness and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. With a little practice, you can master the art of making risotto and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. So next time you're looking for a special dish to make, give risotto a try. You won't be disappointed.
