SHRIMP SCAMPI-STYLE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat a wide-bottomed skillet over medium heat, coating with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, or enough to fully coat the surface. Add the shrimp and a pinch of salt and pepper. Do not stir at first. You want to brown the shrimp on one side. When the shrimp has browned lightly on one side and begins to turn pink, stir and cook another minute more, until the shrimp is just pink but not fully cooked. Remove from heat and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add another tablespoon or two of olive oil to the skillet. Add the rice and stir until the rice becomes coated in the oil and turns translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, garlic, and 1 3/4 teaspoons of salt. Stir until the liquid mostly evaporates.
• Add water one cup at a time, stirring frequently between additions. Add the next cup of water when the previous liquid is almost evaporated.
• After the last addition of water, add the shrimp back to the pan and cook, stirring. Add the butter, pepper, and parsley. Stir to combine. Taste for seasoning. The rice should be al dente and creamy.PRO TIP: The texture should be a bit loose. Rather that sit upright in lump form on a plate, the risotto should hold together, but spread slightly in a bowl. If the risotto is not there, add a bit more water and stir vigorously.
• Spoon into pasta bowls and garnish with parsley and a wedge of lemon. Serve immediately.

BAKED SHRIMP SCAMPI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Peel, devein, and butterfly the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place the shrimp in a mixing bowl and toss gently with the olive oil, wine, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature while you make the butter and garlic mixture.
• In a small bowl, mash the softened butter with the garlic, shallots, parsley, rosemary, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg yolk, panko, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper until combined.
• Starting from the outer edge of a 14-inch oval gratin dish, arrange the shrimp in a single layer cut side down with the tails curling up and towards the center of the dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until hot and bubbly. If you like the top browned, place under a broiler for 1 minute. Serve with lemon wedges.

Add the red pepper flakes, garlic and onions and cook until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir and simmer until the shrimp is cooked through, about 1 minute. Set aside on a plate to cool completely.

• To assemble: Add 1 cup of sauce to the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Using a spoon, fill each of the jumbo shells generously with the shrimp/cream cheese mixture. Lay 20 of the stuffed shells face down in the baking dish. Top with an additional 2 cups of sauce. Sprinkle over half of the shredded mozzarella. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly and hot, about 25 minutes.
• For the second casserole: Assemble a second 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the remaining ingredients as above, then cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake, uncovered, until bubbly and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes.

• Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the crushed red pepper and some salt.
