Shrimp and lemon arancini is a delicious Italian appetizer that combines the zesty flavors of lemon with tender shrimp and creamy risotto. These golden, crispy rice balls are perfect for impressing guests at your next dinner party or simply treating yourself to a gourmet snack.
- Cook the rice properly: Ensure the rice is cooked to a creamy consistency by gradually adding the chicken gravy while stirring frequently. This will give your arancini the perfect texture.
- Chill the risotto: Allow the risotto mixture to cool completely in the refrigerator before forming it into balls. This will make it easier to shape and handle.
- Seal the arancini well: Make sure to press the arancini balls firmly to avoid them falling apart during frying. You can slightly wet your hands to prevent the rice from sticking.
- Preheat the oil: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying by testing a small piece of bread; it should sizzle and turn golden brown quickly. This will ensure your arancini are crispy and not greasy.
- Drain on paper towels: After frying, place the arancini on paper towels to remove excess oil and keep them crispy.
Enjoy these delightful shrimp and lemon arancini as a sophisticated starter or a delightful snack. The crispy exterior giving way to a creamy, zesty interior is sure to be a hit with any seafood lover. Pair with a light white wine for an extra touch of elegance.
