Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups clam juice
4 wide strips lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped (stems reserved)
6 cloves garlic
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails reserved)
1 onion
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the clam broth: Combine 4 1/2 cups water, the clam juice, lemon zest and parsley stems in a saucepan. Smash 3 garlic cloves and add to the pan along with the shrimp tails. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, chop the onion and remaining 3 garlic cloves. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt; cook 30 seconds. Add the rice and cook until it starts to toast, 2 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until absorbed, about 3 minutes.
  • Strain the clam broth, then return to the saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Add 3 cups clam broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the rice and cook, stirring, until mostly absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 3 more cups clam broth and simmer, stirring, until the rice is just tender and the liquid is thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the shrimp in the last 2 minutes of cooking and cook until opaque.
  • Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the lemon juice and most of the chopped parsley. Add enough clam broth until creamy; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining parsley.

CHAMPAGNE RISOTTO WITH SCALLOPS

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2/3 cup arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
1 cup dry Champagne
1 14 1/2-ounce can (or more) low-salt chicken broth
1/2 pound bay scallops
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions; sauté 1 minute. Add rice; sauté 2 minutes. Add Champagne; simmer until almost all liquid evaporates, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add 1 can broth; simmer until rice is almost tender, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Add scallops; simmer until scallops are cooked through and rice is tender but still firm to bite and mixture is creamy, adding more broth if too thick and stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the risotto rice and the scampi. Look for plump, firm scampi with a briny smell.
  • Toast the rice in a little olive oil before adding the liquid. This will help to develop the flavor of the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from clumping together.
  • Cook the risotto until it is creamy and al dente. The rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Stir in the scampi, champagne, and Parmesan cheese just before serving. This will help to prevent the scampi from overcooking and the champagne from losing its effervescence.

Conclusion:

Risotto with scampi and champagne is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make a risotto that is creamy, flavorful, and packed with seafood.
