Provided by Aubrey W.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups Arborio rice
½ cup white wine
3 ½ cups hot chicken broth
½ pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
¾ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
4 slices prosciutto, diced
1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped
½ medium lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a 12- to 14-inch skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice; cook and stir with a wooden spoon until toasted and opaque, about 4 minutes.
  • Add wine and let it reduce for 2 minutes. Add one ladle of chicken broth; cook and stir until it's all absorbed. Continue adding one ladle at a time, cooking and stirring until broth is absorbed before adding the next ladle. When finished, rice will be creamy and tender yet firm to the bite. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
  • Meanwhile, season shrimp with salt and pepper.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet; add shrimp and saute just until they turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes; they will not be fully cooked. Remove from the heat.
  • When the risotto is finished, stir in shrimp, spinach, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, prosciutto, parsley, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with more Parmesan cheese.
