Coconut Risotto With Chili Lime Shrimp

From neena51 16 years ago

This is a different way to make risotto. Hubby and I came up with it one night when we were cooking together.

Heat chicken stock and coconut milk in a medium sauce pan to a boil, reduce heat and keep simmering
Heat rice wine in small saucepan to simmering
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large saucepan on medium heat
Saute onion until translucent
Add arborio rice and toast stirring constantly until a light golden brown
Add rice wine and stir constantly until it is absorbed by the rice
Continue adding 1 ladle of broth mixture at a time stirring constantly until liquid is absorbed each time (reserve approx 1 cup broth)
When desired tenderness is reached remove from heat add salt to taste and stir in butter until melted
Keep warm
Shrimp sauce
Put frozen shrimp in skillet on medium heat until warm, draining any liquid that accumulates
Return skillet to medium heat and 1 tbsp oilve oil and shrimp and saute briefly
Stir in chili sauce and lime juice along with 3/4 cup broth
Heat until simmering
Add cornstarch to remaining 1/4 c broth and stir into shrimp sauce until thickened
Ladle over risotto in a shallow bowl

It's nice to be able to cook with hubby! My hubby and I clean collard greens together. Then he cooks them since he has some type of secret ingredient......I think he puts his foot in it!! LOL Jett
