Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 1 small shallot, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced and divided
- 1 cup arborio rice
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine, divided
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 2 Tbsp freshly chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
- 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
Instructions
- In a large, heavy skillet or saucepan heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add 1 clove of garlic, shallots, salt and rice and lightly sauté to toast the rice. Cook until rice becomes translucent and shallots soften, stirring continuously.
- Begin adding broth, 1 ladle-full at a time, stirring constantly. As broth absorbs, add the next ladle-full and repeat until all broth is absorbed. Once broth is absorbed, add 1 cup wine and simmer, stirring occasionally until fully absorbed.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add remaining 3 cloves of garlic, lemon juice, and parsley, and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add shrimp and season with salt. Cook shrimp until pink, 3 to 4 minutes, then add remaining 1/2 cup wine. Bring to a simmer, then add shrimp mixture and Parmesan to risotto and stir until combined and creamy.
- Serve topped with additional parsley, if desired.
