Warm broth helps coax more starch out of each grain and helps prevent the arborio rice from overcooking.

Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for one minute until it's fragrant. Stir in the wine, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook and stir until the wine is fully absorbed. Editor's Tip: If you prefer to abstain from alcohol in your cooking, you can swap it for an equal amount of chicken broth. Alternatively, you can also try a splash of red wine vinegar, white grape juice or a nonalcoholic wine.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Shrimp-Risotto_TOHcom24_276517_DR_05_24_11b-e1719218446542.jpg?resize=700,467"},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Add the broth gradually","text":"Add hot broth to the rice, 1\/2 cup at a time, cooking and stirring until the broth has been absorbed by the rice after each addition. Cook until the rice is tender but firm to the bite, and the risotto is creamy. Editor's Tip: Don't rush this process. Gradually adding the broth helps the rice to slowly release its starches and become rich and creamy. If you add all of the broth at once, your shrimp risotto will not develop the right consistency. For a shortcut method, try Ina Garten's risotto in the oven.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Shrimp-Risotto_TOHcom24_276517_DR_05_24_12b-e1719218464428.jpg?resize=700,467"},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Add the shrimp and seasonings","text":"Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Finish the risotto by stirring in the cheese, parsley and coarse black pepper. Serve the risotto immediately. Editor's Tip: Shrimp recipes are easy to overcook. Cook them just long enough for the shrimp to turn pink and opaque, and to form a soft C shape. A tight O shape is usually indicative of overcooked shrimp.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Shrimp-Risotto_TOHcom24_276517_DR_05_24_13b.jpg?fit=700,1024"}],"recipeYield":"4 servings","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lauren Habermehl"}],"nutrition":{"@type":"NutritionInformation","calories":" 442 calories","fatContent":"14g fat (7g saturated fat)","cholesterolContent":"169mg cholesterol","sodiumContent":"1247mg sodium","carbohydrateContent":"46g carbohydrate (2g sugars","fiberContent":"1g fiber)","proteinContent":"26g protein."},"aggregateRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":0,"reviewCount":0,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5},"recipeCuisine":"Europe, Italian"},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"276517","romance_copy_dek":"Creamy shrimp risotto is proof that impressive dinners don't have to be difficult.","enhanced_recipe_title":"Easy Shrimp Risotto","rms_legacy_data":{"RecipeCategories":null,"Ingredients":[{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 carton (32 ounces) chicken broth","IngredientText":"1 carton (32 ounces) chicken broth"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"3 tablespoons butter","IngredientText":"3 tablespoons butter"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 shallot, finely chopped","IngredientText":"1 shallot, finely chopped"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup uncooked arborio rice","IngredientText":"1 cup uncooked arborio rice"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 garlic cloves, minced","IngredientText":"2 garlic cloves, minced"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"3\/4 cup dry white wine","IngredientText":"3\/4 cup dry white wine"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 pound uncooked shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined","IngredientText":"1 pound uncooked shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese","IngredientText":"1\/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley","IngredientText":"1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper","IngredientText":"1\/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper"}],"FeaturedImage":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/1200x1200\/Easy-Shrimp-Risotto_29_07_24.jpg","RecipeId":276517,"AttachmentSourceId":null,"AttachmentSource":"Taste Recipes","PhotoCredit":"Easy Shrimp Risotto Recipe photo by Taste Recipes","VideoCode":null,"RecipeAttachmentFileName":"Easy-Shrimp-Risotto_29_07_24.jpg","ContributorId":null,"Firstname":"Taste Recipes","Lastname":"Test Kitchen","City":"Milwaukee","StateDescription":"Wisconsin","IsCommunityCook":false,"ContributorAttachmentFileName":"https:\/\/cdn3.tmbi.com\/toh\/Recipe\/testkitchenapproved.png","TimeCallout":"Prep: 15 min.
