Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine broth, 2 cups water, lemon zest, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until translucent and grains begin to make a popping sound, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine and saffron; cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds.
- Ladle 1 cup broth mixture into skillet. Stir with a wooden spoon at a moderate speed until most of broth is absorbed and bottom of skillet stays visible for a second or two as you mix, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue ladling broth into skillet, about 1/2 cup at a time (or enough to just cover rice). Stir slowly but constantly, allowing rice to absorb most of broth before adding more. Risotto is ready when rice is al dente and broth has thickened to a rich sauce, 20 to 25 minutes. (You may not need to use all of broth.) Add shrimp and peas to skillet with last addition of broth; cook until shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in butter, lemon juice, and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with more cheese and pepper to serve. If the risotto becomes stiff before serving, stir in more hot broth, a little at a time, until it's loose and creamy.
SHRIMP RISOTTO WITH PEAS
Shrimp shells are used here to make a subtle shellfish broth for the risotto. Make sure you don't overcook the shrimp; they will take only four to five minutes to cook, and the contrast of their succulent texture against the chewy rice will be lost if the shrimp become rubbery.

Steps:
- Shell the shrimp and de-vein if necessary. Salt them lightly, and set aside in a bowl (in the refrigerator, if you won't be making and serving the risotto right away). Rinse the shells, and combine them with 5 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, skim off foam, reduce the heat to low and simmer partly covered for 30 minutes. Strain and add to the chicken stock or water. Taste, add enough salt to make a well seasoned broth and bring to a simmer in a saucepan.
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan or a large, wide saucepan. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, three to five minutes, and then add the rice and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle.
- Stir in the wine, and cook over medium heat, stirring. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. You want some of the flavor to cook into the rice before it evaporates. When the wine has just about evaporated, stir in a ladleful or two of the simmering stock, enough to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly. Cook, stirring often, until it is almost absorbed. Add another couple of ladles of the stock. Crush the saffron threads between your fingers and stir in. Continue to cook, stirring often - not too fast and not too slowly, adding more stock when the rice is almost dry - for 20 minutes.
- Taste a bit of the rice. It should taste chewy but not hard in the middle. Continue adding simmering stock and stirring until the rice reaches this al dente stage. Stir in more stock to cover, and add the peas and the shrimp. Cook, stirring, for another four to five minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through but still moist and the peas are bright. Stir in the parsley and another small ladle of stock, remove from the heat, add pepper, stir for a few seconds and serve.

Steps:

Steps:
- Heat 1 Tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Saute, stirring often until onion has softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add remaining butter and rice. Stir until rice is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup apple juice, salt and cayenne and stir until absorbed. Add remaining apple juice, stirring until absorbed. Add broth, 1/4 at a time, stirring until absorbed. Add 1/4 cup water, stirring until absorbed and the add rest of water. Stir and continue cooking for approximately 35-40 minutes. When rice is almost tender, very creamy and still soupy, stir in shrimp and peas. Continue stirring often until shrimp is cooked and peas are hot, about 5 minutes. Stir in cheese and parsley.

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH PEAS (SHRIMP TOO!)
Wow, if you love mushrooms, this has an amazing deep rich flavor that can't be beat! Giada's recipe from her cookbook, Everyday Italian. The secret to an intense mushroom flavor is simmering the dried Porcini mushrooms in hot chicken broth. Any dried mushrooms will do, pick your favorite or make it a mushroom combo. Can be served as a side entree or the main meal if you you add shrimp, which I like to do. Makes 6 generous side or main entree portions. Cooking time does not include cooking shrimp Add 5-7 minutes for this.

Steps:
- Make this portion of the recipe ahead if desired:.
- Bring the broth to a simmer and add the dried Porcini mushrooms. Cover, remove from heat, and set aside until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms, cool and chop fine. SAVE the broth, cover and keep warm over a very low heat.
- Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan, over medium heat.
- Add the onions and garlic and saute' until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the white mushrooms, porcini mushrooms; saute' until the mushrooms are tender and the juices evaporate, about 7-10 minutes.
- Stir in the rice and coat with the mushroom mixture.
- Add the wine; cook, stirring often, until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Add 1 C of hot broth to the arborio rice; simmer over med-low heat, stirring often until the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Repeat and continue to cook until the rice is just tender and the mixture is creamy, adding more hot broth by cupfuls and stirring often, about 28 minutes. You may not use all the broth. Check for desired level of doneness. Some like it al dente, I prefer it more tender, so I add more time and keep checking.
- Stir in the peas, mix in the Parmesan cheese, season with salt & pepper.
- OPTIONAL: *At this point I top with defrosted raw shrimp. Nestle the shrimp into the risotto and let them cook through on one side, then flip over to cook the other side. They will turn pink and opaque in color. This takes about 5-7 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.

CAULIFLOWER "RISOTTO" WITH SHRIMP AND PEAS
This dish is a satisfying mash-up of two comfort food classics-cauliflower with cheese sauce and risotto with shrimp and peas-which makes for a healthy, modern, and doubly comforting skillet dinner. The cauliflower, which has been grated so it resembles rice, is simmered briefly with flour-thickened milk and Parmesan cheese, forming a creamy sauce to coat the vegetable and create a risotto-like base. Shrimp and peas are added to the skillet, and minutes later the dish is ready to be served, garnished beautifully with ribbons of fresh basil and a shower of Parmesan.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Use fresh shrimp, arborio rice, and Parmesan cheese.
- Cook the rice properly. Arborio rice is a short-grain rice that absorbs a lot of liquid. It should be cooked slowly over low heat, stirring frequently.
- Add the liquid gradually. The liquid should be added in small amounts, so that the rice has time to absorb it. This will help prevent the risotto from becoming too soupy.
- Stir the risotto constantly. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and will also help to create a creamy texture.
- Season the risotto to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as basil or parsley, for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Shrimp risotto with peas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its creamy texture, savory flavor, and鮮艷colorful presentation, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
