LEMON BASIL SHRIMP RISOTTO



Lemon Basil Shrimp Risotto image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, finely diced
2 cups arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
About 5 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, zested and juiced, plus extra lemon zest, for garnish
2 tablespoons heavy cream
18 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus extra for serving
Grated Parmesan, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook on both sides until opaque in the middle, about 3 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and cut in half. Set aside.
  • Return the skillet to the stovetop (do not wash it) and add the garlic and onion. Stir and cook until the onion starts to turn translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the rice to the skillet and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes, taking care not to burn it. Pour in the wine and stir. Once the wine is absorbed, begin adding the broth 1/2 to 1 cup at a time, allowing the rice to cook and absorb the liquid each time. Stir occasionally as you go and add the salt and pepper during one of the broth additions. After 4 cups of broth have been absorbed, taste the rice. It should have a slight bite, but if it seems undercooked, add additional broth for the rice to absorb and cook until the risotto is to your liking.
  • Add both the lemon zest and juice to the risotto towards the end of cooking. Stir in the heavy cream, shrimp and basil, then serve immediately with extra lemon zest and Parmesan cheese on top.

1/2 cup finely minced shallots
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

SHRIMP WITH BASIL, GARLIC, AND TOMATOES



Shrimp with Basil, Garlic, and Tomatoes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup quartered cherry or grape tomatoes (about 12)
5 large fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus extra for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds medium-large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.
  • Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
  • Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

ROCK SHRIMP, TOMATO, AND LEEK RISOTTO WITH BASIL AND MEYER LEMON



Rock Shrimp, Tomato, and Leek Risotto With Basil and Meyer Lemon image

This is a sort of mating of my favorite Shrimp Scampi recipe with a recipe for a Mushroom Risotto that I really like (sans mushrooms though). It should be almost soupy.

Provided by Betty Rocker

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 leeks, divided
1 cup cream
1 large tomatoes, cut into small 1/4 inch dice or 5 -6 roma tomatoes
10 large basil leaves, cut into chiffonade divided
1 cup arborio rice
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 cup white wine, divided
2 large garlic cloves
3 -4 cups shrimp stock or 3 -4 cups chicken stock
1 lb fresh rock shrimp
3/4 cup frozen peas
1 meyer lemon
parmigiano-reggiano cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Carefully wash the leeks, then trim the root end and the tops just where they start to turn light green. Halve them longways, then check for mud and dirt again and rinse if necessary. Slice into thin half-moons, keeping the slices from one of the leeks separate from the other two.
  • Put the slices from two of the leeks into a small saucepan, cover with the cream, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Add tomato and continue to simmer.
  • Meanwhile, start the risotto. In a heavy-bottomed, medium-sized stock pot, melt 1 tbsp butter. Add leeks, and sauté over medium heat for a few minutes until softened and beginning to brown slightly.
  • Add rice and sauté for 2-3 minutes until coated with butter-leek mixture and beginning to toast. Add 2/3 cup wine and stir until wine is mostly absorbed. Add about 1/2 cup chicken or shrimp stock at a time, stirring frequently, waiting to add more stock until there's just a little bit of liquid left. Continue to add stock until the rice is cooked through and just barely firm in the center. Grate a bit of the Meyer lemon rind (from about 1/4 of the lemon) into the risotto, and season to taste.
  • Add 1/2 basil and peas to cream mixture and stir. Check seasoning, then pour into risotto and gently fold to combine with the rice.
  • Heat a large non-reactive skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp butter and melt, then add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until cooked through - about 2 minutes. Add shrimp to risotto, then return skillet to heat, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter, then add the garlic cloves, pressing them through a garlic press. Sauté for just a few seconds, then pour in 1/3 cup wine to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour liquid into risotto, then squeeze 1/2 Meyer lemon on top and fold gently to combine.
  • Serve in shallow bowls, garnishing with a grating of Parmigiano-Reggiano and some of the basil chiffonade. Serve with the same wine you used to add to the risotto.

Provided by r8brito

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 small leeks or 1 large leek
1 cup arborio rice or 1 cup carnaroli rice
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon minced flat leaf parsley
1 pinch kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced chives

Steps:

  • Clean and prep the leeks by trimming the roots and dark green leaves from the stalks, then slit each in half lengthwise and thoroughly swish each half in a large bowl of water to remove any sand and sediment that might be stuck between the root layers, gently frilling them apart with your thumbs. Pat dry and slice each half into 1/8-inch thick half-moons.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer and keep warm over low heat.
  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Add the leeks and garlic, and sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt evenly over the vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to caramelize.
  • Add the rice and stir well for 2 minutes to gently toast.
  • Stir in the wine and simmer until nearly evaporated.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the warm chicken broth to the rice and stir gently and frequently until most of the liquid is absorbed. Continue to add broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring as the rice continues to cook and absorb liquid.
  • After 15-20 minutes, most of the broth should be absorbed and the rice should taste tender and chewy but slightly firm to the bite. There will still be a good amount of sauce in the pan with the rice; risotto isn't fluffy and dry like a pilaf, but retains a slightly soupy texture.
  • Before you add your last ladleful of broth, stir in the shrimp to cook through as the liquid is absorbed.
  • Season the risotto with salt and pepper to taste, stir in the remaining butter, the Parmesan, parsley, and chives, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your risotto. Look for ripe tomatoes, leeks, and basil, and use a good-quality olive oil and broth.
  • Toast the rice before cooking: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Instead, add it in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
  • Stir frequently: Stirring the risotto frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the pot and will also help to release the starch from the rice, which will give the risotto its creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Risotto should be cooked al dente, with a slightly firm bite. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end: Stirring in the cheese and butter at the end of the cooking process will help to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  • Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to hold it for a short time, keep it warm in a low oven or on a warming tray.

This rock shrimp, tomato, and leek risotto with basil and Meyer lemon is a delicious and sophisticated dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
