Ingredients
- 4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 1 pound uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 ½ cups Arborio rice* or medium-grain white rice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Bring broth to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat; keep hot.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper and garlic; sauté until onion is pale golden but garlic is not brown, about 4 minutes. Add rice and stir to coat, about 2 minutes. Add wine to pan and simmer until almost absorbed. Add 1 cup broth at a time and simmer until liquid is absorbed before adding more, stirring often.
Risotto should still have a nice liquid sauce but not be soupy, and the rice kernels should still be slightly firm or al dente in the center. Stir in shrimp and cook until pink about 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and parmesan. Remove from heat.
Check seasonings. Add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Transfer to bowls and sprinkle with parsley.
