Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Broth

In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Keep warm over low heat.

2

Sauté Sausage and Garlic

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

3

Cook the Rice

Add Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is well coated and slightly toasted.

4

Add Broth Gradually

Begin adding the warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, to the rice. Stir continuously and wait for the liquid to be absorbed before adding the next ladle. Repeat until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

5

Incorporate Shrimp and Cheese

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the shrimp to the risotto. Stir in the butter, grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6

Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat and stir in chopped green onions. Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
