Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 large shrimp, peeled, deveined, cleaned, and minced, heads and shells reserved
1/2 onion, cut julienne style
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces carnaroli rice
1 (6-ounce) glass Champagne
1 ounce tomatoes, cubed
16 ounces water
Salt
1 onion, cubed
1 carrot, diced
1 celery, diced
Shell and heads of shrimp
Freshly ground black pepper
Chervil leaves

Steps:

  • Wash the shrimp, clean away the heads and the shells. Devein and cut into small pieces.
  • To make the shrimp broth, use a large pot and boil the water with some salt, add the onion, carrot, celery, and shells and boil for approximately 20 minutes. Cool and set aside. Strain and reserve broth.
  • Cut the onion into julienne style strips and lightly fry in the olive oil. Add the rice and toast on high heat, mixing continuously to avoid burning for approximately 5 minutes. Add the glass of Champagne, allow it to reduce, then add the shrimp broth and continue mixing for another minute.
  • After simmering for 10 minutes, add half of the minced shrimp and keep cooking for an additional minute. Add the remaining shrimp and diced tomatoes and cook for an additional minute.
  • Remove the rice from the heat and whip the rice with the extra-virgin olive oil and some more Champagne.
  • Allow the dish to stand for a few minutes and garnish with chervil before serving.

I found this risotto to be a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The flavor was still very good.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this risotto. The scampi were cooked perfectly and the champagne added a nice touch of flavor.

This risotto is so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. I love that I can make it ahead of time and then just reheat it when I'm ready to serve.
