Creamy risotto with marinated shrimps

Here’s a version of risotto between land and sea, cooked and raw: a mixture of two cheeses, shrimps almost raw and lemon scents.

SERVES 4

PREPARATION TIME 20 minutes

COOKING TIME 15 minutes

DIFFICULTY medium

Ingredients

350g rice

2l vegetable stock

150g crescenza cheese

32 shrimps (oil, vinegar and lime to marinate)

Almond flakes

2 shallots, minced

Grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Method

1. Clean the shrimps. Marinate in oil, salt, pepper lime and a few drops of vinegar.
2. Bring the stock to the boil.
3. In a casserole, sauté the minced shallots with some olive oil. Add the rice, toast it well and simmer with white wine until reduced.
4. Add the stock a little at a time and cook for about 15 minutes.
5. Stir in the crescenza cheese and Parmesan.
6. Add a small amount of lemon zest and a few drops of its juice.
7. To serve, add the marinated shrimp (well drained from the marinading) and some almond flakes.

The Chef’s Suggestion

For the best marination, start steeping the shrimps a few hours before cooking the risotto or, if you have some time, the day before.
