Easy Recipe for Shrimp and Saffron Risotto:
Perfect for a light lunch or summer dinner.
Ingredients:
1 cup Arborio rice
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 cups chicken or seafood broth
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Begin by heating the chicken or seafood broth in a saucepan over low heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
Heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat in a separate large skillet or saucepan. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly and absorb some of the flavors.
Pour in the white wine and stir until the rice has absorbed it.
Dissolve the saffron threads in a small amount of warm water (about two tablespoons). Add this saffron-infused water to the rice mixture, stirring well.
Add the warm broth to the rice mixture, stirring frequently, one ladleful at a time. Allow each addition of broth to be mostly absorbed before adding more. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is creamy and al dente.
While the risotto is cooking, season the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once the risotto is cooked to your desired consistency, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is melted and fully incorporated.
Gently fold the cooked shrimp into the risotto, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
Serve the Shrimp and Saffron Risotto hot, garnished with additional shrimp, freshly chopped parsley, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
Enjoy your delicious Shrimp and Saffron Risotto.
