Here’s how you make easy and delicious risotto with shrimps for family dinner.

Ingredients for Risotto with shrimps:

Certainly! Here’s a delicious recipe for Shrimp Risotto:

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley (optional), for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable or chicken broth to a simmer and keep it warm on low heat.
2. In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent.
3. Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir well, coating the rice with the oil and butter mixture. Cook for about 2 minutes until the rice grains become slightly toasted.
4. Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until it is absorbed by the rice.
5. Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is cooked al dente, which should take approximately 20 minutes.
6. While the risotto is cooking, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a separate pan, heat a little oil over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
7. Once the risotto reaches the desired consistency (creamy but still with a slight bite), add the cooked shrimp and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently to combine.
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
9. Remove from heat and let the risotto rest for a minute or two.
10. Serve the shrimp risotto hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
