    Shrimp Risotto


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 pound shrimp (unshelled)
    2 cup Italian Arborio rice
    1 bay leaf
    1 1/4 cup dry white wine
    a few celery leaves
    2 zucchini, cut into thin strips
    6 peppercorns
    salt, to taste
    6 ounces oyster mushrooms, cut into pieces
    a few saffron threads
    3 3/4 cup water
    2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    6 tablespoon butter, divided
    1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese,
    1 onion, chopped
    1 clove garlic, crushed

    Recipe



    Rinse and peel the shrimp; set aside. Rinse the shrimp shells, then put them in a saucepan along with the bay leaf, celery leaves, peppercorns, salt, saffron, and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. Strain and reserve the stock. In a heavy large saucepan or skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter; add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes or until softened but not colored. Add the rice and stir to coat all the grains with butter. Add 1/3 of the reserved stock and bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, until the stock is absorbed. Stirring, gradually add more stock and the wine until it has all been absorbed and the rice is cooked; this will take about 20 minutes. In a separate pan, melt the remaining butter, add the shrimp, zucchini, and mushrooms; cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Fold the mixture into the rice along with the rice and half of the cheese. Taste and add salt, if needed. Serve piping hot, sprinkled with the remaining cheese.
