RECIPE:
Shrimps
Risotto ( Risotto is a traditional Italian rice dish.)
CATEGORY:
Seafood
COUNTRY: Italian
SERVES: 4
INGREDIENT:
One finely chopped onion, chive finely chopped, one garlic finely
chopped, 400
grams of small, fresh and cleaned shrimps, butter, saffron, 1 cup
of rice, 3 cups of consommé, 2 spoons of white wine, 1/2 spoon of olive
oil, salt and pepper to taste.
DIRECTION:
Simmer the chopped onion and chive in some olive oil in a pot, add the
rice and mix well. Heat up the consommé separately and add the saffron,
the very hot stock is gradually added in small amounts while stirring
gently, almost constantly: stirring loosens the starch molecules from
the outside of the rice grains into the surrounding liquid, creating a
smooth creamy-textured liquid. Let the consommé get consumed by the
rice, add the white wine and mix again until the liquid gets consumed.
Simmer the cleaned shrimps in butter for a minute (until they turn red) then add
them to the rice, keep adding the last cup of consommé and let simmer
slowly until all the liquid gets consumed, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
