Risotto with zucchini and shrimps




One of the things I love about my husband is his ability to create great dishes from nothing. He likes to cook and experiment with new things (but it is limited to pastas and risotti)This one I love the most it is a great Risotto made with Zucchini and shrimps, even my little two years old picky eater likes this dish.
One important thing to bear in mind while cooking a risotto is that you have to stay close to the pot and add stock to the rise as you mix it constantly, otherwise it would stick to the pot and result in a sticky risotto (God's forbid ! according to my husband :-))

Zucchini and Shrimps Risotto

1 medium zucchini

1/4 of a medium onion

1 cup rise (for risotto)

1 cube chicken stock

2 cups water

1 pack frozen shrimps (no head, no tail)

2 Tablespoons butter

Start by cutting the onions and the zucchini into small cubes. Melt the butter in a heavy pot then add onions. Sautè the onions a bit then add the zucchini and sautè.Add the the Shrimps and Rise and mix(keep mixing to avoid sticking) in a separate pot, put water and let boil then add the cube of chicken stock ( you can use fresh chicken stock, I used the cube) then add stock to cover a bit above rise mixter.Season with salt and keep mixing. When you see that rise is starting to get dry, add stock and mix until rise is cooked.

Enjoy!
