LEMONY SHRIMP AND RISOTTO



Lemony Shrimp and Risotto image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, tarragon, chives, chervil, dill, basil, chives and arugula (4 cups leaves)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup finely chopped onion or leek
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
Freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Put your stock or broth into a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer on the stove, with a ladle nearby or in the pot. Make sure that it is well seasoned. Combine the herbs and one of the minced garlic cloves in a bowl, and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan. Add the onion or leek and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, about three minutes. Do not brown.
  • Stir in the rice and the remaining three cloves of garlic, and stir just until the grains of rice become separate and begin to crackle. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is absorbed.
  • Begin adding the simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. When the rice is just tender all the way through but still chewy, usually in 20 to 25 minutes, it is done. Taste now and correct seasoning.
  • Add another ladleful of stock to the rice. Stir in the herbs, pepper, lemon zest and juice, and Parmesan, and remove from the heat. The mixture should be creamy. If you put some on a plate and tilt the plate the mound of rice should flatten out. Serve right away.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use the best shrimp you can find, and make sure the herbs are fresh and aromatic.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality risotto rice: Arborio rice is a good choice for risotto because it has a high starch content, which makes it creamy and delicious.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid: Toasting the rice in a little bit of butter or oil will help to develop its flavor.
  • Add the liquid slowly and stir constantly: This will help the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from becoming clumpy.
  • Season the risotto to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a grating of Parmesan cheese.
  • Let the risotto rest before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb all of the liquid and become creamy.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and herb risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is made with fresh shrimp, herbs, and a creamy risotto base. The dish is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cook, you will be sure to enjoy this delicious recipe.
