Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup arborio rice but can use short grain rice
  • 9 oz shrimp
  • 1 oz butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • Hot poultry or vegetable broth
  • 2 oz grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a pot heat the oil with the butter over high heat until it melts, add the garlic and shrimp and cook stirring for about 3 minutes.

  2. Remove the shrimp and in the same pot (which will have a little liquid) add the onion, cook it until it is translucent, for about 5 minutes and then add the rice and cook it stirring for 3 minutes.

  3. Add the white wine and stir until half of it evaporates, lower the heat and add half a cup of hot broth stirring, every time the mixture is "drying" add half a cup more of broth for 15 minutes, or until the rice is al dente (with the center still hard).

  4. Turn off the heat, add the reserved shrimp, salt and pepper to taste and the Parmesan cheese. Cover, let it stand for 5 minutes and enjoy!
