Delicious Tropical Shrimp Risotto

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Pre-sealing the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes prevents overcooking and preserves the tender texture of the meat. - Deglazing the pan with white wine loosens the caramelized bottom left by the crustaceans and enriches the rice. - The final touch of lemon juice and parsley balances the greasiness of the butter and parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Main Course

  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 300g of cleaned shrimp
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 4 cups of hot fish or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Chopped green herbs for finishing

Instructions

Main Course

1

In a pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Adicione a cebola e o alho, refogando até que fiquem dourados.

2

Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

3

In the same pot, add the rice and stir for 2 minutes, until it absorbs the flavors.

4

Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring, until the alcohol evaporates.

5

Add the hot broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed before adding more broth.

6

Continue adding the broth until the rice is al dente, which should take about 18-20 minutes.

7

When the rice is ready, add the reserved shrimp, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

8

Keep everything warm for 2 more minutes, stirring well to incorporate the flavors.

Chef Tips

- Dry the cleaned shrimp with a paper towel before placing in the skillet so they brown without releasing excess water. - Remove the shrimp as soon as they turn pink and only return to the pan in the final two minutes of cooking. - Use homemade fish stock made with the shrimp shells and heads to impart a deep marine flavor to the rice.

Variations

- Add fine zest of Sicilian lemon peel along with the juice to intensify the aromatic citrus freshness. - Add cherry tomatoes cut in half and lightly sautéed along with the reserved shrimp in the finishing. - Incorporate a light pinch of finely chopped seedless chili pepper to create a soft contrast of spiciness.

Substitutions

- Arborio rice can be replaced by carnaroli rice, maintaining the broth proportion and cooking time. - Fish stock can be substituted with mild vegetable stock with onion, celery, and carrot for a more neutral profile. - Traditional butter can be replaced by ghee clarified butter without altering the emulsion point of the recipe.

How to Store

O risoto de camarão deve ser degustado na hora para que os crustáceos mantenham sua maciez ideal. Sobras podem ser mantidas na geladeira em recipiente vedado por até 24 horas e reaquecidas em fogo brando com um fio de água.

Can You Freeze It?

It is not advisable to freeze ready-made shrimp risotto, as the rice loses its silky bond and the shrimp acquires an excessively rubbery and dried-out texture. Freeze only the raw and cleaned shrimp for up to 3 months.

What to Serve With

Serves perfectly accompanied by a fresh green leaf salad with hearts of palm and extra virgin olive oil. A young dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or brut sparkling wine, pairs impeccably.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it necessary to remove the shrimp from the pan before cooking the rice?

The shrimp cooks in less than 3 minutes; if it remained in the pan during the 20 minutes of the rice, it would become hard and rubbery.

How to use shrimp shells to improve the dish?

Boil the washed shells and heads in water with pieces of onion and garlic for 15 minutes, strain, and use as hot broth in the risotto.

Can I use frozen shrimp to make this recipe?

Yes, defrost the shrimp completely under refrigeration and dry them with paper towels before browning in butter with olive oil.

Does parmesan cheese go well with seafood recipes?

At the indicated dosage of half a cup, the parmesan adds salinity and a creamy binder without overpowering the delicate palate of the shrimp.
