INGREDIENTS

  • Seafood

    • 🍤 2 pounds large shrimp in their shells

  • Liquids

    • 6 cups chicken stock or more as needed
    • ½ cup dry white wine

  • Seasonings

    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Grains

    • 2 (12-ounce) packages Arborio rice

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 2 large shallots, diced

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 4 tablespoons butter, divided
    • 🧀 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

  • Oils

    • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

STEPS

1

Peel and devein shrimp, reserving shells. Heat stock in a large saucepan and add shells; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, chop shrimp into bite-sized morsels. Toss with olive oil and garlic; cover and refrigerate.

3

Strain stock and discard shells. Keep warm on low heat.

4

Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Add shallots; cook until softened, but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add dry rice and stir until each grain is coated and starts to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.

5

Raise heat to medium. Add wine, stir and simmer until mostly evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.

6

Ladle 1/2 cup of warm stock into rice mixture; stir constantly until stock is absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes. Add rosemary and saffron and another 1/2 cup of stock; stir until absorbed, about 3 minutes. Repeat with about 4 more cups of stock, 10 to 15 minutes.

7

Add marinated shrimp to remaining 1 cup stock; stir for 1 minute and pour mixture into rice. Cook and stir until risotto is tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 8 minutes more.

8

Stir Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter into risotto. Stir until creamy. Serve immediately in warmed bowls.
