Ingredients

  • 8 cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped Yellow Onions
  • 2 cups Carnaroli or Arborio Rice
  • 1/2 cup Dry White Wine
  • 1/2 pound fresh Asparagus Spears stemmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 18 large Shrimp shelled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chopped Tomatoes
  • Fresh Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Place broth in a large pot or saucepan. Place over medium high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and leave until needed.
  • In a separate, large nonstick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add rice. Stir to coat thoroughly. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add white wine. Stir until completely absorbed.
  • Slowly add 1/2 cup of warm broth to the risotto. Stir until completely absorbed. Repeat this step, stirring each time, until 4 cups of broth have been added. Continue to stir the risotto frequently to avoid sticking.
  • While the risotto is cooking, add asparagus and shrimp to the remaining broth. Cook for approximately 2 minutes or until the shrimp are pink in color. Do not overcook. Remove the asparagus and shrimp from the broth and add them to the pot with risotto.
  • Continue to add 1/2 cup of broth at a time, stirring well, until desired creaminess is reached.
  • Once the broth is absorbed, add butter, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes and parsley to complete and serve hot.
