ASPARAGUS, PEA AND SAFFRON RISOTTO (WITH SHRIMP) RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Asparagus, Pea and Saffron Risotto (with Shrimp) Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 small shallot, chopped finely
1 cup carnaroli (or arborio) rice
1/2 cup dry white wine (I use Sauvignon Blanc)
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 healthy pinch of saffron* (about 3/4 teaspoon)
Juice of one lemon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup grated parmigiano reggiano
1 cup fresh asparagus (3-4 spears), cut into quarter-inch pieces
1/2 cup frozen peas (don't thaw)
salt, to taste
grated parmigiano reggiano for garnish
lemon zest for garnish
about a scant 1/4 tsp of tumeric can be used in place of saffron (less expensive and adds a pretty color)
4-5 large raw shrimp, tails removed (optional)

Steps:

  • If using shrimp, use 2-3 large pieces per serving. Remove the tail, place in a small bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil, a splash of white wine, a squeeze of lemon juice, one small clove of freshly minced garlic, and a little salt and pepper and set aside. Heat chicken stock in medium saucepan. In a separate saucepan, heat garlic and and shallots in olive oil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add rice and stir to coat for a few seconds. Add wine and a half cup of chicken stock. Stir frequently until liquid is mostly absorbed, then add another half cup of stock and saffron. Allow to absorb, and then add another half cup of stock, repeating the process until the stock has been mostly absorbed (about 20-25 minutes). Rice should be tender but slightly firm, and risotto should have a thick creamy consistency. Meanwhile (within 10 minutes of the risotto being ready): In a small skillet, heat about 1 Tbsp olive oil, and 1 small pat of unsalted butter. Saute the asparagus until just al dente--about 7 minutes. Set aside. In the same pan, cook the shrimp until pink-- about 2 minutes per side. Once the risotto is finished, remove from heat and stir in lemon juice**, lemon zest, parmigiano reggiano, asparagus and frozen peas. Add salt to taste. Garnish with grated cheese and lemon zest. Top with shrimp, if serving. **add about 1/2 the lemon juice, and taste. Add more, if you prefer for the lemon citrus taste to come through.

12 uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails left intact

Steps:

  • Boil stocks and shallots in saucepan until reduced to 3/4 cup, 20 minutes. Set aside. Cook asparagus in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Drain.
  • Line microwave-safe plate with plastic wrap. Overlap enough potato rounds (about 12) on plastic to form 4-inch round. Microwave on high until almost tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer potato galette to baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining potatoes and 3 teaspoons oil to form total of 4 galettes. (Reduced stock, asparagus, and galettes can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.) Melt 1 tablespoon butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add leek. Cover and cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add crab, cream, and chives; simmer to heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Cover to keep warm. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; sauté until just opaque in center, 3 minutes. Add asparagus; toss to heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add galettes and cook until crisp and brown, 1 1/2 minutes per side; transfer 1 galette to each of 4 plates. Bring reduced stock to simmer. Remove from heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter; whisk just until melted.
  • Top potato galettes with crab mixture. Arrange shrimp atop crab. Surround with asparagus. Spoon stock over.

SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE



Shrimp and Asparagus Casserole image

This scrumptious seafood dish "travels well". At least, the recipe does= I make sure to pack it in my handbag whenever my husband and I are preparing to visit out-of-state relatives. Now that we're retired, we travel often. And it's our custom to take over in the kitchen wherever we visit and whip up one of our own family favorites-frequently this casserole. It never fails to win us compliments...along with invitations to visit again!
