Risotto Base

Method

Preparing the Risotto

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic, sautéing until the shallot becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and stir for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly and absorb the flavors.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring frequently, until the wine has mostly evaporated, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Broth Gradually

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

  5. 5

    Finish with Cheese and Seasoning

    Once the rice is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until creamy and set aside.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 6

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the wild-caught Gulf shrimp, paprika, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  2. 7

    Combine and Garnish

    Once the shrimp are cooked, add them to the risotto and gently mix to combine. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
