  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup Arborio rice
– 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup frozen peas
– 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup white wine (optional)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons butter
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Making Easy Shrimp Risotto with Peas can be straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Heat Broth: In a saucepan, warm the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm while you prepare the risotto.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir for another minute until fragrant.

3. Toast Rice: Add the Arborio rice to the skillet. Stir the rice in the oil and aromatics for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly translucent.

4. Add Wine: If using, pour in the white wine. Stir continuously until the wine is mostly absorbed by the rice, about 2 minutes.

5. Gradually Add Broth: Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb most of the liquid before adding more. Repeat this process until the rice is al dente and creamy, about 15-20 minutes.

6. Cook Shrimp: In the last few minutes of cooking, add the shrimp and frozen peas to the risotto. Stir gently until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.

7. Incorporate Cheese and Butter: Once the shrimp are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

These simple steps will guide you in effortlessly preparing this delightful and creamy dish that is sure to impress!
