Ingredients

• 350 g of rice for risotto
• 200 g of shrimps
• 200 g of raw spinach
• 1 small onion
• olive oil
• salt, pepper
• 2 l broth ( onion, carrot, spinach, shrimp heads, salt, and water)
• butter and Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. To begin with, we will clean the shrimp from the shells and from the intestinal fibers they have on their backs.
2. After that, continue washing and cleaning the spinach.
3. Next, we prepare the broth for risotto. So, in a deep pot with water, we boil a few shrimp heads along with spinach leaves, onion, carrot, and a little salt for 20 minutes.
4. Then, start the risotto cooking by finely chopping the onion and sautéing it for a few minutes with olive oil. We will use a deep pot or pan.
5. Since we have used large shrimp, we cut some shrimp into small pieces, others we keep whole to use for decorating the dish.
6. So, we will add the shrimp to the onion and mix it until golden. Add salt and ground black pepper at the moment.
7. Also, finely chop most of the spinach and save a handful of leaves for blending at the end. In this way, we will have not only a tasty risotto but also a beautiful green color.
8. Once the spinach has lost its volume, add the rice, and mix it.
9. After a few minutes, when the rice grains reach the necessary heat, add hot juice and mix it well.
10. So, we will continue adding the juice gradually until the cooking of the rice is towards the end.
11. Meanwhile, we blend the spinach set aside.
12. In the last two minutes, add the blended spinach, and once our risotto is ready, add a little butter and a spoonful of minced parmesan cheese.
13. Remove it from the heat and mix. Add fresh parsley and serve it immediately.

Bon Appetit!
