Method
Preparation
Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, heat the chicken or seafood broth and keep it warm over low heat.
Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, cooking until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Cooking
Cook the Rice
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 2 minutes until the rice is well-coated and slightly toasted.
Add Wine
Pour in the white wine and stir until it is absorbed by the rice.
Add Broth Gradually
Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. This process should take about 18-20 minutes.
Add Shrimp
When the rice is creamy and al dente, add the shrimp, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Finish with Cheese and Butter
Stir in the remaining butter and grated Parmesan cheese until creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serving
Garnish and Serve
Serve the risotto garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
