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 In a small saucepan, heat the broth. Keep it warm while you cook the risotto.<\/p>\n In a large nonstick skillet, saute the mushrooms and onion in the butter until they’re tender, about three minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute longer.<\/p>\n Add the rice and cook, stirring, for two to three minutes. Carefully stir in 1 cup of the heated broth. Cook and stir until all the liquid is absorbed.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> When you briefly cook the rice before you add the first cup of broth, oil coats the grains, and they develop a slightly nutty flavor. As you add the remaining hot stock in small increments, the toasted grains soften until they’re evenly al dente and consistently creamy. Cold or room-temperature stock extends the cooking time and could create an irregular texture.<\/p>\n Add the remaining broth, 1\/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the rice to absorb the liquid between additions. Cook just until the risotto is creamy and the rice is almost tender, about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Constant stirring sounds tiring but is crucial for evenly cooked risotto rice. If you stop stirring for too long, the rice could scorch. Avoid adding more liquid at each stage with the hope of stirring less. The classic creamy sauce won’t develop, rendering the risotto watery and thin.<\/p>\n Add the spinach, shrimp, cheese and pepper. Cook and stir until the spinach is wilted and the shrimp are heated through. If desired, top the risotto with crushed red pepper flakes and additional shredded Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n Store shrimp and spinach risotto in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For food safety, you should only reheat shrimp and spinach risotto once, so store it in appropriate portions. You should also cool it quickly. Spread it evenly in a thin layer on one or more rimmed baking sheets until it cools completely, then pack it away.<\/p>\n Shrimp and spinach risotto lasts three to four days when stored in the refrigerator. The risotto will thicken as it cools and sits, but will return to its original consistency when reheated.<\/p>\n Reheat shrimp and spinach risotto in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Stir in a couple of tablespoons of water or broth, cover the pan and let the risotto warm for about four minutes. Then uncover the pan and stir until the rice is steaming and the shrimp have just warmed through.<\/p>\n Both fresh and frozen raw shrimp become juicier and more flavorful than precooked shrimp in spinach and shrimp risotto. Thawed raw shrimp cook quickly in the hot rice mixture and absorb the recipe’s other flavors just as readily\u2014without becoming tough and rubbery. They only need two to three minutes to cook through.<\/p>\n Clean the shrimp<\/a> yourself and use the raw shells to make stock; stock made from uncooked shells will be even more flavorful than stock made with precooked shells. Use shrimp stock instead of the chicken broth in this shrimp and spinach risotto recipe, or freeze it for making cozy seafood soups<\/a> later.<\/p>\n Shrimp and spinach risotto stands on its own as a one-dish meal. Keep any side dishes light and fresh, like arugula salad with shaved Parmesan<\/a> or crunchy apple and walnut salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n Serve small portions of risotto as a side dish instead, placing a scoop alongside lemon baked cod<\/a> for a seafood feast, or air-fryer bacon-wrapped steak<\/a> for a surf and turf meal. Mix an Aperol spritz<\/a> to sip on as you cook (and for your guests while they wait), and serve homemade lemon sorbet<\/a> as the meal’s encore.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
