SHRIMP AND PEAS RISOTTO RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring stock or broth to a simmer in a saucepan, with a ladle nearby. Make sure stock is well seasoned, and keep it simmering on the stove.
• Heat oil in a wide, heavy nonstick skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add onions or shallots and cook gently until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn up heat and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sweat, about 3 minutes, then add garlic and thyme or sage. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper and continue to cook over medium heat until they are soft. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Add rice and stir until grains begin to crackle. Add wine and cook, stirring, until wine is no longer visible in pan. Stir in enough simmering stock to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly. Cook, stirring often and vigorously, until stock is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of stock and continue cooking, not too fast and not too slowly, stirring often and adding more stock when rice is almost dry, for 15 minutes.
• Add peas, if using, and continue adding stock and stirring for another 10 minutes. Rice should be tender all the way through but still al dente. Taste now and adjust seasoning.
• Add another ladleful or two of stock to rice. Stir in parsley and Parmesan, and remove from heat. Season with black pepper and serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates.

Steps:

• Set an Instant Pot® to saute on the medium setting (see Cook's Note). Chop the shallot and garlic. When the pot is hot, add 2 tablespoons butter, then add the shallot, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the rice and thyme sprigs and cook until the rice is toasted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the wine, scraping the bottom of the pot, and cook until evaporated, about 30 seconds. Turn off the saute function.
• Stir the clam juice and 3 cups hot water into the pot. Close the lid and turn the steam valve to the sealing position. Set the pot to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. When the time is up, turn the valve to the venting position and release the steam completely. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock the lid.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pot. Stir in the peas. With the pot still turned off, close the lid and let the shrimp cook through, about 5 minutes.
• Add the parmesan and lemon zest to the risotto; stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted. Add a few dashes of water to loosen, if necessary. Discard the thyme sprigs. Divide among bowls. Top with lemon zest and serve with lemon wedges.
