Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound medium raw shrimp
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 4-5 cups low-sodium fish broth hot
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 pound medium raw shrimp in a single layer and sprinkle with the seasonings (1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and Kosher salt and ground black pepper). Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until pink and fully opaque, around 1-2 minutes more. Set aside on a plate.
- Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet. Saute the 1 yellow onion (diced) and 3-4 garlic cloves (minced) for 3-4 minutes over medium heat.
- Add the 1 cup arborio rice and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Pour over two cupfuls of the 4-5 cups low-sodium fish broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Once the liquid is reduced, repeat the cooking process, by adding a cup of broth at a time.
- Once all the broth has been used, the rice should be plump and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup chopped parsley.
- Serve the risotto topped with cooked shrimp.
Notes
- Broth: You may use Chicken or vegetable stock. The stock will give the risotto a more robust taste than the broth.
- Rice: You may substitute Arborio rice with Carnaroli rice or sushi rice. The taste and the texture will not be the same.
- Protein: For those who aren't a fan of shrimp, you may easily substitute chicken breast for the meat in this dish.
- Veggies: If you're making a garlic shrimp risotto, you can add peas, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, carrots, mushrooms, or tomatoes.
- Herbs: This recipe goes well with fresh herbs like basil or chives.
