METHOD OF PREPARATION:

1. First of all, season your shrimp with garlic, salt and lemon.
2. Using the pan you will use to prepare the risotto, sear the shrimp as follows: heat the pan, add a dash of olive oil and cook the shrimp until they turn pink. Then set aside on a plate.
3. In the same pan, add a little more olive oil, browning the onion and tomato well.
4. As soon as you add the arborio rice, sauté it for 3 more minutes and add the white wine. Keep stirring until the alcohol evaporates.
5. Then add ladles of broth without stopping to stir so that the rice cooks and reaches the al dente point – which can take around 20 minutes.
6. So, to make the broth to use in this risotto, we have the following preparation: pour 2 liters of water, small pieces of onion, a portion of tomato, bay leaf and 2 cloves of garlic, all in the pan until it boils a little.
7. Finally, when the risotto reaches the ideal point, add the shrimp and mix well. Then turn off the heat and finish with a spoonful of butter, cream cheese and grated parmesan.

Additional Information:

• Cooking the shrimp: Do not cook the shrimp for too long because it can overcook and become tough.
• Rice point: The rice should be al dente, which means it should cook but still have some raw material inside.
• Broth: we pass on this broth recipe, but an alternative is to make a broth with the shrimp itself which will give more flavor.
