Risotto Ai Gamberi E Scorza Di Limone Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Broth

   In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.

2. 2

   Sauté Garlic and Shrimps

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimps and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimps from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   In the same skillet, add Arborio rice and toast it for 2-3 minutes until slightly translucent. Pour in the white wine and cook until it is mostly absorbed.

4. 4

   Add Broth Gradually

   Start adding the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

5. 5

   Add Shrimps and Finish

   Once the rice is cooked, stir in the cooked shrimps, lemon zest, remaining butter, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until well combined and creamy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, garnished with additional lemon zest or Parmesan if desired.
