Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion (from 1 small)
1 1/2 cups short-grain Italian rice, such as arborio
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 pinch saffron
1 pound large peeled, deveined shrimp
3/4 cup fresh peas
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine broth, 2 cups water, lemon zest, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until translucent and grains begin to make a popping sound, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine and saffron; cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Ladle 1 cup broth mixture into skillet. Stir with a wooden spoon at a moderate speed until most of broth is absorbed and bottom of skillet stays visible for a second or two as you mix, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue ladling broth into skillet, about 1/2 cup at a time (or enough to just cover rice). Stir slowly but constantly, allowing rice to absorb most of broth before adding more. Risotto is ready when rice is al dente and broth has thickened to a rich sauce, 20 to 25 minutes. (You may not need to use all of broth.) Add shrimp and peas to skillet with last addition of broth; cook until shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in butter, lemon juice, and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with more cheese and pepper to serve. If the risotto becomes stiff before serving, stir in more hot broth, a little at a time, until it's loose and creamy.

BARLEY RISOTTO WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS



Barley Risotto with Shrimp and Peas image

A smattering of sweet peas and a good measure of rock shrimp turn a humble bowl of pearl barley into a serious risotto.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup pearl barley
6 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup dry white wine
12 ounces rock shrimp, peeled Maine shrimp, or other small peeled shrimp
2 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place barley in a bowl, and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Cover; let soak in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Bring stock to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat, and cover. Drain barley. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook 6 minutes. Stir in barley. Add wine, and cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated.
  • Add 1/2 cup stock, and cook, stirring, until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1/2 cup at a time, waiting until liquid is absorbed before adding more, until barley is tender but still slightly firm, about 35 minutes total (reserve 1/4 cup stock to stir in at the end).
  • About 1 minute before barley is done, stir in shrimp and peas, and cook until shrimp are opaque throughout. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/4 cup stock, lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan, and salt. Season with pepper, and serve.

CAULIFLOWER "RISOTTO" WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS



Cauliflower

This dish is a satisfying mash-up of two comfort food classics-cauliflower with cheese sauce and risotto with shrimp and peas-which makes for a healthy, modern, and doubly comforting skillet dinner. The cauliflower, which has been grated so it resembles rice, is simmered briefly with flour-thickened milk and Parmesan cheese, forming a creamy sauce to coat the vegetable and create a risotto-like base. Shrimp and peas are added to the skillet, and minutes later the dish is ready to be served, garnished beautifully with ribbons of fresh basil and a shower of Parmesan.

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen peas

SHRIMP RISOTTO WITH PEAS



Shrimp Risotto With Peas image

Shrimp shells are used here to make a subtle shellfish broth for the risotto. Make sure you don't overcook the shrimp; they will take only four to five minutes to cook, and the contrast of their succulent texture against the chewy rice will be lost if the shrimp become rubbery.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, one pot, appetizer, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound medium shrimp, in the shell
1 quart chicken stock or water
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
2 large garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
A generous pinch of saffron (optional)
1 cup thawed frozen peas, or fresh peas steamed for five minutes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Shell the shrimp and de-vein if necessary. Salt them lightly, and set aside in a bowl (in the refrigerator, if you won't be making and serving the risotto right away). Rinse the shells, and combine them with 5 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, skim off foam, reduce the heat to low and simmer partly covered for 30 minutes. Strain and add to the chicken stock or water. Taste, add enough salt to make a well seasoned broth and bring to a simmer in a saucepan.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan or a large, wide saucepan. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, three to five minutes, and then add the rice and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle.
  • Stir in the wine, and cook over medium heat, stirring. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. You want some of the flavor to cook into the rice before it evaporates. When the wine has just about evaporated, stir in a ladleful or two of the simmering stock, enough to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly. Cook, stirring often, until it is almost absorbed. Add another couple of ladles of the stock. Crush the saffron threads between your fingers and stir in. Continue to cook, stirring often - not too fast and not too slowly, adding more stock when the rice is almost dry - for 20 minutes.
  • Taste a bit of the rice. It should taste chewy but not hard in the middle. Continue adding simmering stock and stirring until the rice reaches this al dente stage. Stir in more stock to cover, and add the peas and the shrimp. Cook, stirring, for another four to five minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through but still moist and the peas are bright. Stir in the parsley and another small ladle of stock, remove from the heat, add pepper, stir for a few seconds and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your risotto will be. Use fresh shrimp, snow peas, and arborio rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: Arborio rice is a short-grain rice that is used to make risotto. It has a high starch content, which makes it creamy when cooked properly. Cook the rice according to the package directions.
  • Add the liquids gradually: Risotto is cooked by adding hot liquid to the rice in stages. This allows the rice to absorb the liquid and cook evenly. Add the liquid gradually, stirring constantly.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the risotto constantly helps to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and also helps to create a creamy texture.
  • Add the shrimp and snow peas at the end: The shrimp and snow peas should be added to the risotto at the end of the cooking process. This will prevent them from overcooking.
  • Season to taste: Taste the risotto and season it with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.

Conclusion:

Risotto with shrimp and snow peas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to impress your friends and family. With a few simple tips, you can make a risotto that is creamy, flavorful, and packed with shrimp and snow peas.
