INSTANT POT SHRIMP RISOTTO

Steps:

• Divide the shrimp into two batches. Keep one batch frozen and place the other batch in a bowl of lukewarm water to defrost. You may need to swap the water once it cools down.
• Press the Saute button on the Instant Pot and once hot, add the olive oil and butter to the pot.
• Add onions, celery and salt and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften.
• Add garlic, lemon zest, rice (unwashed) and stir through.
• Press Cancel to stop the Saute process.
• Pour in the 4 cups of stock. Stir through, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent anything from being stuck.
• Add half of the frozen shrimp on top of the rice, no need to stir.
• Lock the lid and set to pressure cook on HIGH for 5 minutes. Once done, naturally release the pressure for about 2-3 minutes and then do the quick release. Don't leave on natural release for longer than that!
• While the risotto is cooking, pan-fry the defrosted shrimp in a little oil and butter for 2-3 minutes until pink and slightly browned. Season with a little salt. Remove and set aside.
• Add the frozen peas to a bowl with boiling water and allow to defrost. You may need to swap the water once it cools down. Strain and set the peas aside.
• Open the lid. Add butter, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, pepper and defrosted peas and stir through the hot risotto.
• Taste for salt and add more if needed.
• Finish by topping the risotto with pan-fried shrimp and scallions or chives.

SHRIMP RISOTTO WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Shell the shrimp and de-vein if necessary. Salt them lightly, and set aside in a bowl (in the refrigerator, if you won't be making and serving the risotto right away). Rinse the shells, and combine them with 5 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, skim off foam, reduce the heat to low and simmer partly covered for 30 minutes. Strain and add to the chicken stock or water. Taste, add enough salt to make a well seasoned broth and bring to a simmer in a saucepan.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan or a large, wide saucepan. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, three to five minutes, and then add the rice and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle.
• Stir in the wine, and cook over medium heat, stirring. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. You want some of the flavor to cook into the rice before it evaporates. When the wine has just about evaporated, stir in a ladleful or two of the simmering stock, enough to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly. Cook, stirring often, until it is almost absorbed. Add another couple of ladles of the stock. Crush the saffron threads between your fingers and stir in. Continue to cook, stirring often - not too fast and not too slowly, adding more stock when the rice is almost dry - for 20 minutes.
• Taste a bit of the rice. It should taste chewy but not hard in the middle. Continue adding simmering stock and stirring until the rice reaches this al dente stage. Stir in more stock to cover, and add the peas and the shrimp. Cook, stirring, for another four to five minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through but still moist and the peas are bright. Stir in the parsley and another small ladle of stock, remove from the heat, add pepper, stir for a few seconds and serve.
