Pat loves risotto and is so excited to share this brand new Garlic Shrimp Risotto recipe with you! The trick to making soft, fluffy, and creamy risotto is to use Arborio rice. This recipe comes together quickly and is a perfect meal to add to your rotation! Pat hopes you enjoy!
Add 1 tbsp butter to a pan and heat it on medium heat
Add 2 tbsp minced garlic to the pan and stir. Once the garlic is heated, add the shrimp in a single layer and add the salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp until pink, about 1-2 minutes on each side
Once the shrimp are done cooking, add them to a plate and set them aside
Add remaining butter to the pan, and once it is melted, add the diced onion and the remaining garlic. Stir until the onion becomes translucent
Add the rice to the pan and stir to mix it with the onions and garlic. Add two cups of the broth and cook on medium heat until liquid is almost evaporated. Give this a good stir every couple of minutes
Continue adding the broth one cup at a time. When adding your final cup of broth, add it a little at a time as you may not need the full cup. Stir every couple of minutes and take a taste of the risotto. The risotto should feel soft and creamy
Once risotto is fully cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the cheese and parsley. Serve the risotto topped with garlic shrimp
