Step 1:
How to make risotto in cream sauce with shrimp? Prepare the specified products for making risotto. Rice needs special for risotto - Arborio or another suitable for this dish, I have medium-sized Arborio. Pre-boiled shrimp. Fish broth is hot, in the absence it can be replaced with hot water. I took 10% cream. Hard cheese, for example, "Parmesan".
Step 2:
To prepare risotto, take a deep frying pan or a saucepan /saucepan with a thick bottom. Pour olive oil into a frying pan and heat it. Peel the onion from the husk and finely chop. Fry the chopped onion in oil until transparent. Do not make a strong fire so that it does not start to burn.
Step 3:
Add the risotto rice to the onion in the pan and fry everything together for about 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Step 4:
Pour dry white wine into the pan with rice and let the alcohol evaporate, 2-3 minutes.
Step 5:
Next, pour a ladle of fish broth into the pan and cook the rice until the liquid has completely evaporated. If the broth is already salty, you do not need to salt the rice (to taste), and if the broth is not salty or you use hot water, then you can salt the rice. Once the broth has evaporated, add another ladle. And also before evaporation.
Step 6:
When the rice is almost ready - slightly firm on the outside, but not hard, and soft on the inside, add the peeled shrimp (the shrimp are peeled from the shell, head and tail, and the intestinal wreaths on the tail are removed) and continue cooking for about 2 minutes. Do not forget to stir the rice.
Step 7:
Pour the cream into the risotto, stir and warm the rice with cream for 1-2 minutes. Also at this stage, you can add part of the cheese by grating it on a fine grater. Mix the rice and cheese.
Step 8:
Serve the finished risotto immediately after its preparation. In each plate, put rice with shrimp and sprinkle with grated cheese. This is an independent dish. To the Italian risotto, you can offer a glass of dry white wine.
