How To Make Shrimp Risotto

Step 2:
Add the rice and let it cook for a couple of minutes, then add the white wine, let all the alcohol evaporate and then gradually add the seafood broth (stirring from time to time) first cover and when we see that there is almost no liquid left, add more broth and so on until all the broth is used up.

Tips for preparing Shrimp Risotto
To prepare this risotto, we must use arborio or carnaroli rice, you can find it in any supermarket.
Use natural seafood broth, the result is much better and healthier, you can prepare it at home or buy it ready in supermarkets.
Every time you are going to add the seafood broth to the shrimp risotto, it must be hot so as not to stop the rice from cooking.
When you are cooking the shrimp risotto, it is important to keep stirring, so that the rice releases all its starch and gives us a creamier texture.
