Lemon Parmesan Risotto with Roasted Shrimp

I wanted to make a seafood dish for Ben and Brandi. I merged two recipes to come up with Lemon Parmesan Risotto with Roasted Shrimp.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups canned low-salt chicken broth

• 1 pound large shrimp
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

• 3 1/2 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large shallots, chopped (or 1 small white onion)
• 2 cups arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)
• 2 teaspoons chopped dry parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 4 teaspoons grated lemon peel

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
2. Bring broth to simmer in large saucepan over medium heat. 
3. Rinse the shrimp and pat them very dry. 
4. Toss them with olive oil and then the paprika, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder
5. Spread the shrimp in a baking dish and return them to the refrigerator
6. Reduce heat to low; cover to keep warm. 
7. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter with oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots (or onions) and saute until tender, about 6 minutes. 
8. Add rice; stir 1 minute. 
9. Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 30 seconds. 
10. Add 1 1/2 cups hot broth; simmer until absorbed, stirring frequently. 
11. Add remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more. Stir frequently until rice is creamy and tender, about 35 minutes. 
12. In the last 5 minutes of cooking the risotto, put the pan of prepared shrimp in the oven.
    Bake for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are pink.
13. Stir in cheese to risotto, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. 
14. Stir in parsley, lemon juice, and lemon peel. 
15. Season risotto with salt and pepper to taste.
16. Plate and serve with roasted shrimp.
