Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in Arborio rice until well coated in oil; continue cooking until both the onion and rice begin to turn golden-brown, about 8 minutes.
Pour in the white wine and stir until evaporated.
Pour in 1/3 of the hot chicken broth; stir constantly as the risotto simmers and slowly absorbs the broth, about 8 minutes.
Add half of the remaining broth, and continue stirring until absorbed, about another 8 minutes.
Stir in chile-garlic butter, shrimp, carrot, pine nuts, black olives, and red chile pepper until the butter has melted. Stir in the remaining chicken broth, and again stir constantly until absorbed, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with black pepper.
At this point, taste the rice; it should be slightly firm and totally delicious. If it is still a little crunchy, stir in some hot water and continue cooking until it reaches the desired tenderness.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Shrimp works really well with Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. You could try Mark West Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.
Mark West Pinot Grigio
Crisp and clean, this wine features honeydew, stone fruit, and citrus with a subtle, clean, lingering finish.Try pairing with good old fish and chips, summer salads, and steamed clams by the dozen...or dozens.
