Shrimp Paesano & Lemon-Parmesan Risotto

August 30, 2011 by Jaida 1 Comment

One of the best things about the blogging community is getting to know other bloggers through food. People that you will likely never meet in real life, you are able to become familiar with through their writing and their recipes. I have a few favorites that I visit on a daily basis, and when I have time I like to go back through posts that were made prior to when I began following their blogs. Shelbi at Look Who’s Cookin’ Now, is one such blogger. She is just too cute and she posts a lot of great recipes! I ran across this combination over the weekend, and decided I would try both things!! I love shrimp, I love risotto, and I absolutely adore lemon, so this was a no-brainer for me! Thanks to Shelbi for sharing this, and for my readers – you should definitely stop over to check out her site for some inspiration!

 

Shrimp Paesano
Source: Look Who’s Cookin’ Now
Ingredients
·         1 lb uncooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
·         1 cup half & half
·         1/2 cup flour
·         1/3 cup canola oil
·         1/3 cup olive oil
·         1 egg yolk
·         ½ cup butter
·         1 ½ Tbsp lemon juice
·         1 Tbsp parsley, chopped
·         1 Tbsp chives, chopped
·         2 cloves garlic, chopped
Preparation
1.       Soak shrimp in half & half for at least 10 minutes
2.       In a small saucepan, whip 1 egg yolk over medium heat and add ¼ cup of butter, stirring until melted.
3.       Add the other ¼ cup of butter, lemon juice, parsley, chives and garlic and stir for about 2 minutes. Do not boil the mixture. Set mixture aside.
4.       Heat canola and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and turn oven on broil.
5.       Dredge the shrimp in flour and place into the skillet. You will need to cook it in several batches.
6.       Cook on 1 side for approximately 5 minutes, until nicely browned.  Remove shrimp from oil and place on baking sheet, browned side down.
7.       Once all batches have been cooked, place the baking sheet in the broiler for 5-7 minutes.
8.       Remove, and serve with sauce over the top!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
