Note: This is no Knock off recipe. I had liked this so much, the wait staff asked me if I wanted the recipe. I said sure! She brought back a card with the following recipe. Ingredients:
18 shrimp, shelled and deveined |
8 cups chicken broth |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (colaviata or or your choice) |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
1/2 cup butter |
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese |
salt & pepper |
1/2 lb asparagus spear, fresh stemmed and cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 cup tomato, chopped |
1/2 cup yellow onion |
2 cups arborio rice |
fresh parsley, chopped |
Directions:
1. SIMMER: chicken broth on low heat until needed.
2. HEAT: oil over medium heat.
3. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes, or until translucent.
4. Stir in rice and cook for 1 minute, then add white wine.
5. Add 1/2 of broth and stir until completely absorbed.
6. Repeat until 4 cups of broth have been added.
7. Stir the risotto frequently to prevent sticking.
8. ADD: asparagus and shrimp to the remaining broth and cook for about 2 minutes, or until shrimp is pink.
9. Remove asaparagus and shrimp from the broth and then add them to the risotto mixture.
10. Add 1/2 cup of the broth at a time until desired creaminess is reached (there may be broth left over).
