Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 small fennel bulb, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 small onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
1 large clove garlic, smashed, peeled, chopped
1 cup Arborio rice (about 6 1/2 ounces)
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus extra as needed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
Zest of 1 large lemon
3 cups arugula

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook until the shrimp are just opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the shrimp and juices to a bowl to cool.
  • Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil to the pan. Add the fennel and onions. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, 30 seconds. Add the rice. Stir until well coated and translucent in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the wine. Cook until the wine is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, lemon juice, zest, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the rice is just tender but still has some bite and the risotto is creamy, stirring often, 13 to 14 minutes.
  • Mix in the arugula. Stir until the arugula wilts, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp. Mix in additional broth if needed, 1/4 cup at a time, until the risotto is creamy.
  • Spoon the risotto into 4 shallow soup bowls.

ARUGULA RISOTTO



Arugula Risotto image

Peppery arugula is the ideal foil for creamy Arborio or Carnaroli rice in this side dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 3 1/2 quarts (12 to 14 cups) homemade or low-sodium canned (6 14 1/2-ounce cans) chicken stock
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 shallots, minced
3 cups Arborio or Carnaroli rice
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Arugula Puree
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Arugula flowers, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring chicken stock to a simmer in a large stockpot over medium heat; cover, and keep at a steady simmer until ready to use. At the same time, heat oil in a large heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots to oil; cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add rice, and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is thoroughly coated and makes a clicking noise, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly, until wine is completely absorbed.
  • Using a ladle, add about 1 1/2 cups hot stock to the rice; cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until most of liquid has been absorbed and mixture is just thick enough to leave a clear trail behind the spoon. Add another 3/4 cup hot stock to rice; cook, stirring constantly, until most of liquid is absorbed.
  • Continue adding stock 3/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly after each addition, until the rice is mostly translucent but still opaque in the center, and the liquid is the consistency of heavy cream, 20 to 25 minutes. The rice should be al dente but no longer crunchy. Watch carefully, and gradually reduce the amount of added liquid to make sure the mixture does not overcook; it will continue to thicken after it is removed from heat.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in butter, cheese, and arugula puree; season with salt and pepper. To serve, mound risotto in the center of shallow serving bowls, and sprinkle with additional cheese. Garnish with arugula flowers, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for plump, firm shrimp, ripe arugula, and a good quality arborio rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: Arborio rice is a short-grain rice that absorbs liquid and becomes creamy when cooked. To cook it properly, follow the package instructions carefully. Do not overcook the rice, or it will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine you use to deglaze the pan will add flavor to the risotto. Choose a dry, white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the risotto is a matter of personal preference. Taste the risotto as you cook it and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Conclusion:

Risotto with shrimp and arugula is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, but it does require some time and attention. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your risotto turns out perfectly.
