Greek Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 34 cups sweet onions (about 2 medium)
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 34 cups asparagus, sliced (about 8 ounces)
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled, devined and chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)
- 1 tablespoon dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 18 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- Bring broth and 1 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil).
- Keep warm over low heat.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add onion to pan; saute 5 minutes or until tender.
- Stir in rice and garlic; saute 1 minute.
- Add broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 30 minutes total).
- Stir in asparagus and shrimp; cook 5 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat; stir in cheese and remaining ingredients.
- Note: The first time I tried this recipe, I found that the asparagus was not quite cooked, so I now microwaved it for about 1 minute, then added it to the rice mixture.
