Shrimp Risotto Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon from skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until onion is translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   Stir in Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted. Begin adding chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more.

4. 4

   Add Shrimp and Spinach

   When the rice is almost tender (about 15-20 minutes), add the shrimp, sundried tomatoes, and fresh spinach. Continue to cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the spinach has wilted.

5. 5

   Finish with Cheese

   Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the risotto hot, garnished with the crispy bacon and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
