With patience and the proper techniques, shrimp and spinach risotto turns out perfectly creamy every single time. If you’ve never made traditional risotto<\/a> on the stovetop, you’ll be surprised by how readily the plump, starchy grains of arborio rice absorb the hot stock. Hot liquid added a little at a time turns the rice tender-firm. Risotto takes some patience and lots of stirring, but it’s always worth it.<\/p>\n

This recipe kicks off with a stealthy ingredient: mushrooms. Sauteed in butter, mushrooms release their powerful umami<\/a> and spread it throughout the dish. They combine with the sweet and briny shrimp, the creamy spinach and the rice to make this shrimp risotto stand out. But don’t let that stop you from exploring other creamy risotto recipes<\/a> cooked on the stovetop, like roasted asparagus and prosciutto risotto or spiced pear risotto.<\/p>\n
