SHRIMP RISOTTO WITH BABY SPINACH AND BASIL



Shrimp Risotto With Baby Spinach and Basil image

Based on a recipe from the Crazy for Italian article in the March 2003 issue of Bon Appetit. "This risotto has the classic creamy yet al dente texture and features a combination of Parmesan cheese and seafood. Contrary to popular belief, Italians do partner cheese with seafood in some dishes; we recommend it here without reservation." Me too!

LEMON BASIL SHRIMP RISOTTO

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, finely diced
2 cups arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
About 5 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, zested and juiced, plus extra lemon zest, for garnish
2 tablespoons heavy cream
18 fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus extra for serving
Grated Parmesan, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook on both sides until opaque in the middle, about 3 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and cut in half. Set aside.
  • Return the skillet to the stovetop (do not wash it) and add the garlic and onion. Stir and cook until the onion starts to turn translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the rice to the skillet and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes, taking care not to burn it. Pour in the wine and stir. Once the wine is absorbed, begin adding the broth 1/2 to 1 cup at a time, allowing the rice to cook and absorb the liquid each time. Stir occasionally as you go and add the salt and pepper during one of the broth additions. After 4 cups of broth have been absorbed, taste the rice. It should have a slight bite, but if it seems undercooked, add additional broth for the rice to absorb and cook until the risotto is to your liking.
  • Add both the lemon zest and juice to the risotto towards the end of cooking. Stir in the heavy cream, shrimp and basil, then serve immediately with extra lemon zest and Parmesan cheese on top.

Creamy Spinach and Shrimp Risotto image

This spinach and shrimp risotto fills the house with a pungent, lemony aroma, and is a great summery dish.

Provided by Aubrey W.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups Arborio rice
½ cup white wine
3 ½ cups hot chicken broth
½ pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
¾ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
4 slices prosciutto, diced
1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped
½ medium lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a 12- to 14-inch skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice; cook and stir with a wooden spoon until toasted and opaque, about 4 minutes.
  • Add wine and let it reduce for 2 minutes. Add one ladle of chicken broth; cook and stir until it's all absorbed. Continue adding one ladle at a time, cooking and stirring until broth is absorbed before adding the next ladle. When finished, rice will be creamy and tender yet firm to the bite. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
  • Meanwhile, season shrimp with salt and pepper.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet; add shrimp and saute just until they turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes; they will not be fully cooked. Remove from the heat.
  • When the risotto is finished, stir in shrimp, spinach, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, prosciutto, parsley, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with more Parmesan cheese.
