3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup uncooked arborio rice
1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach, coarsely chopped
1 pound cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

•In a small saucepan, heat broth and keep warm. In a large nonstick skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in butter until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add rice; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Carefully stir in 1 cup heated broth. Cook and stir until all of the liquid is absorbed. • Add remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow liquid to absorb between additions. Cook just until risotto is creamy and rice is almost tender, about 20 minutes. • Add the spinach, shrimp, cheese and pepper; cook and stir until spinach is wilted and shrimp are heated through.
