Mushrooms and shrimps risotto

Mushrooms and shrimps risotto is a delectable Italian dish that combines the earthiness of mushrooms with the succulent flavors of shrimps. Perfect for a fancy dinner or a cozy night in, this risotto is sure to impress your taste buds with its rich and creamy texture.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
160g
1 cup white rice
230g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
3 cups chicken gravy
600g
1/2 cup white wine
120g
24 oz shrimps
680g
2 tbsp butter
30g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.
- Chop the fresh parsley.
2. Heat the Chicken Gravy:
- In a small pot, heat the chicken gravy (or broth) over medium-low heat. Keep it warm but not boiling while you prepare the risotto.
3. Cook the Shrimp:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and are opaque throughout, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
4. Sauté the Onion and Mushrooms:
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté until it's translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Cook the Rice:
- Add the white rice to the skillet with the onion and mushrooms. Stir well to coat the rice with the oil and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges of the rice become translucent.
6. Deglaze with Wine:
- Pour in the white wine and stir until it's fully absorbed by the rice.
7. Add the Chicken Gravy:
- Begin adding the warm chicken gravy one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition to be almost completely absorbed before adding the next ladle. This process helps the rice release its starches, creating a creamy texture.
8. Incorporate the Shrimp:
- When the rice is nearly tender and creamy (this should take about 18-20 minutes), add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet.
9. Finish with Butter and Parsley:
- Stir in the butter and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until the butter is melted and fully combined.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve Hot:
- Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

- Use arborio rice for the best creamy texture.

- Stir the risotto consistently to release the starches and achieve a creamy consistency.

- Add the chicken gravy gradually and wait for the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more.

- Ensure the shrimps are deveined and cleaned properly before cooking.

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or zest before serving.
