Ingredients

    1 cup Arborio Rice (Risotto Rice), Dry, Uncooked (by SAPOROUS)
    2 cup pieces Shiitake Mushrooms
    10 tsp Chicken Broth (kitchen accomplice) (by KOLBERT)
    2 serving Butter, Kroger, sweet cream, salted.1tbsp
    4 serving Garlic, cooked (1 clove / serving)
    1 glass (3.5 fl oz) White Wine
    4 oz Romano Cheese
    1 tsp Paprika
    3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    8 oz Shrimp, cooked
    1 cup, chopped Onions, raw

Directions

Sauté your mushrooms in a little olive oil and salt and pepper and add a shot of white wine or cognac towards the end of the sauteing .

In a pot add a finely diced small onion or shallot, sauté with 2 Tbs of butter and 2 Tbs of olive oil until soft.

Add 1 or 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes.

Then you add the risotto and just let it toast for about 30 seconds to a minute in all the juices along with 1/2 cup of white wine or cognac. Flambe if desired or stir it in and let it reduce.
Once reduced, add hot vegetable stock or chicken stock 1 ladle at a time, stirring and letting it absorb between each cup.
When it’s almost all absorbed add more. Never stop stirring. After about 10-15 minutes of this taste your rice. Is it done? If not keep stirring. Keep going until the rice tastes about 95% done. At that point add your mushrooms and some Parmesan/Romano cheese. Remove from heat, taste. Is it done? Serve. If not add a little bit of stock and keep going until ready.
