Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp over Creamy Risotto
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the lemon juice and chicken broth to the skillet, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the lemon garlic butter sauce. Keep warm while preparing the risotto.
- In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a simmer. Add the Arborio rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice has absorbed the broth and is creamy, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, spoon the creamy risotto onto plates and top with the lemon garlic butter shrimp. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
