This shrimp risotto is rich, creamy, and full of flavor. I like to marinate the shrimp in garlic and olive oil before making the risotto. I also simmer the shrimp shells in the stock for added flavor. So worth it!

Ingredients

  • large shrimp in their shells: 2 pound
  • chicken stock: 6 cups
  • olive oil: 4 Tbsp (divided)
  • garlic: 3 clove (minced)
  • butter: 4 Tbsp (divided)
  • (12-ounce) packages Arborio rice: 2 piece
  • shallots: 2 piece (diced)
  • dry white wine: 0.5 cup
  • fresh rosemary: 1 Tbsp (chopped)
  • saffron threads, crumbled: 6 piece
  • Parmesan cheese: 2 cups (grated)
  • lemon zest: 1 tsp
  • red pepper flakes: 1 tsp

  4. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Add shallots; cook until softened, but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add dry rice and stir until each grain is coated and starts to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Raise heat to medium. Add wine, stir and simmer until mostly evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. Ladle 1/2 cup of warm stock into rice mixture; stir constantly until stock is absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes. Add rosemary and saffron and another 1/2 cup of stock; stir until absorbed, about 3 minutes. Repeat with about 4 more cups of stock, 10 to 15 minutes. Add marinated shrimp to remaining 1 cup stock; stir for 1 minute and pour mixture into rice. Cook and stir until risotto is tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 8 minutes more.
