How to prepare shrimp risotto with white wine step by step:
1. Wash and dry the bell peppers. Remove the inside of the septum with seeds and cut it into medium-sized cubes. Peel the garlic, rinse and chop.
2. Pour olive oil into a skillet and heat.
3. Add the pepper and garlic and lightly fry over medium heat.
4. Rinse the rice a little and place in the pan.
5. Saute rice and vegetables over medium heat for about 5 minutes. This stage cannot be skipped, because without frying, the rice will lose its shape and turn into porridge in the process of further cooking.
6. After that, gradually pour the wine into the pan.
7. Cook risotto stirring occasionally. When all the wine has evaporated, add more.
8. In the middle of a cooking cycle, season the dish with salt and pepper.
9. When all the wine is finished, use drinking water or broth for cooking. Although you can cook a dish with wine, then it will have a specific flavor.
10. Remove the shrimps from the freezer and put them in a frying pan with the rice without defrosting.
11. Season with ground parsley and add a little more water.
12. Prepare risotto by continually adding water or wine. Stir the food. Wait for the liquid to evaporate and add it again. Continue this process until the rice is fully cooked: pour in small doses and wait until it has completely evaporated. Serve the finished risotto hot on its own, although it can be served with a glass of wine.
