chopped
peeled and deveined
Heat 4 cups of chicken broth in a saucepan and keep it warm.
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté 1 chopped onion until translucent.
Add 1 cup of arborio rice to the pan and toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour in 0.5 cup of white wine and stir until absorbed.
Gradually add the warm chicken broth, 0.5 cup at a time, stirring continuously until each portion is absorbed before adding the next.
Once the rice is al dente, stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 0.25 cup of parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
While the risotto cooks, toss 400 grams of peeled and deveined shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque.
In a small pan, heat 0.25 cup of olive oil and fry 8 basil leaves until crisp. Remove and set aside.
Drizzle the crispy basil oil over the risotto and top with grilled shrimp and crispy basil leaves before serving.
