Shrimp Scampi Risotto

SERVES:    4

PREP TIME:   10 minutes

TOTAL TIME:   35 minutes

COURSE:   Main

We love this delectable spin on the classic, featuring our fresh, sweet shrimp. The creaminess of the arborio rice, further enriched by the butter and cheese, makes this dish hard to resist. Why should you, when it’s so easy to prepare? A beautiful presentation, too!


  Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp butter, divided
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced and divided
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 1 cup white wine, divided
  • 4 cups Citarella Lobster Stock, warmed
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped plus more for garnish
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb. medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add onion and cook until translucent, 3-4 minutes, then add 1 clove garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add rice and stir until combined, then season with salt and pepper. Toast rice for 2 minutes then deglaze the pan with ½ cup of white wine.
  2. In batches, begin adding stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring vigorously. Make sure the liquid is fully absorbed before adding the next batch.
  3. Meanwhile, cook shrimp: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt remaining butter. Add remaining garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and red pepper flakes and stir, 2 minutes, then add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook shrimp until pink, 2-3 minutes, then add remaining 1/2 cup wine, and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add Parmesan cheese, and stir until combined. Serve risotto topped with shrimp and any remaining pan drippings.
