Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
-- --— ------——
8 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cups Arborio rice — or Carnaroli
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 pound fresh asparagus — steamed; cut into 1-inch pieces
18 large shrimp — peeled and deveined
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper — to taste
1 cup tomatoes — chopped
fresh parsley — chopped
1/2 cup yellow onions — chopped
In a large pot or saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer and leave on low heat until needed.
In a separate, large nonstick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook for approximately three minutes. Once the onions are translucent, add the rice, stir to coat thoroughly and cook for one minute. Next, add the white wine and stir until completely absorbed.
Slowly add ½ cup of broth to the risotto and stir until completely absorbed. Repeat this step until 4 cups of broth have been added.
Continue to stir the risotto frequently to avoid sticking.
While the risotto is cooking, add the asparagus and shrimp to the remaining broth and cook for approximately two minutes or until the shrimp are pink in color.
When finished, remove the asparagus and shrimp from the broth and add them to the pot with risotto.
Continue to add ½ cup of broth at a time until desired creaminess is reached.
Once the broth is absorbed, add butter, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes and parsley to complete.
