Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups clam juice
4 wide strips lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped (stems reserved)
6 cloves garlic
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails reserved)
1 onion
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the clam broth: Combine 4 1/2 cups water, the clam juice, lemon zest and parsley stems in a saucepan. Smash 3 garlic cloves and add to the pan along with the shrimp tails. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, chop the onion and remaining 3 garlic cloves. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt; cook 30 seconds. Add the rice and cook until it starts to toast, 2 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until absorbed, about 3 minutes.
  • Strain the clam broth, then return to the saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Add 3 cups clam broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the rice and cook, stirring, until mostly absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 3 more cups clam broth and simmer, stirring, until the rice is just tender and the liquid is thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the shrimp in the last 2 minutes of cooking and cook until opaque.
  • Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the lemon juice and most of the chopped parsley. Add enough clam broth until creamy; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining parsley.

  • Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch
  • Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium oven safe saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until opaque (cloudy), and nutty in aroma, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions, thyme, chicken stock and salt and bring to a boil.
  • Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid. Using oven mitts or pot holders, transfer to the oven, and bake until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the pan from the oven and let sit, undisturbed, for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your scampi the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will also work, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is the traditional fat used in scampi, and it gives the dish its characteristic flavor. Be sure to use a good quality olive oil, as a cheap olive oil can make the dish taste bitter.
  • Add a splash of white wine: White wine adds a nice acidity and brightness to scampi. If you don't have white wine on hand, you can use chicken broth or water.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, and oregano, add a lot of flavor to scampi. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Serve immediately: Shrimp scampi is best served immediately, as the shrimp will continue to cook and toughen if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's sure to become a favorite in your household. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give shrimp scampi a try. You won't be disappointed!
