Bean & Shrimp Risotto




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 cup onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. olive oil
3 ounces white mushrooms, or shitake mushrooms, sliced
1 cup Arborio rice
3-1/3 cups low sodium chicken broth
11 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined
10 ounces canned red beans, or light red kidney beans
2/3 cup frozen tiny peas
3-1/2 Tbs. parsley, finely chopped
2 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. fat-free Parmesan cheese, grated


Recipe



Sauté onion add garlic in oil in large saucepan until tender, 4-5 minutes; add mushrooms and cook 2-3 minutes longer. Stir in rice and cook 2-3 minutes. Heat broth to boiling in medium saucepan; reduce heat to low to keep mixture warm. Add 1 cup broth mixture to rice and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed, 1-2 minutes. Add 2 cups broth mixture and simmer, stirring somewhat firm, 10-12 minutes.

Add shrimp and remaining broth mixture to saucepan; simmer, stirring frequently, until rice is just tender and liquid absorbed, 6-10 minutes. Add beans and peas; cook until hot through, 2-3 minutes. Stir in parsley and cheese; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tip: Risotto can be prepared through the second step one day in advance. Spread rice mixture in jelly roll pan and cool; refrigerate rice, covered with plastic wrap, and remaining broth mixture overnight. To finish cooking, transfer rice mixture to large saucepan. Heat broth mixture to simmer; stir 1 cup broth into rice. Continue with the next step in recipe. Shitake mushrooms give the risotto a distinctive flavor; other mushroom, such as white or brown (cremini or baby bellas) can be substituted.
