Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 small saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1 /2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups asparagus sliced

Instructions
 

  • Warm the chicken stock in a small saucepan over low heat while you prep the other ingredients.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the diced onion and minced garlic and saute for 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add the rice and saute for 2 minutes or until slightly toasted.
  • Pour in the wine and stir slowly until it's almost absorbed. Add in chicken broth one ladle at a time, slowly stirring until absorbed each time. This will take about 25 minutes allowing the risotto to release it's starch and acheive it's signature creamy texture.
  • Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice and salt until the cheese has melted. Add shrimp and asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes ensuring shrimp are thoroughly cooked. Serve as desired.
