Steps to make Lemon Risotto with Shrimp and Asparagus:
- Cut the asparagus just below the tips, and then on an angle at 1/4 inch intervals, discarding the woody part at the bottom. Peel and devein the shrimp, saving the shells, and half the shrimp lengthwise.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan, add the shells, and cook stirring until they turn pink, about 4 minutes.
- Add the broth and thyme, bring to a simmer over medium high heat, reduce the heat to keep the broth at a very gentle simmer, heat the remaining 4 teaspoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or another heavy pot over medium heat.
- Add the shrimp and cook stirring occasionally until just pink but not quite cooked through, about 1-1/2 minutes, transfer the shrimp to a plate.Add the shallot to the pot and cook until translucent (about 2 minutes). Add the rice and stir so that it is coated with oil and glossy, about 1 minute, stir in 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add the vermouth and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon,until it is adsorbed by the rice. Ladle in about 1/2 cup simmering broth (leave behind the shrimp shells and thyme sprig )…and stir constantly until the rice again absorbs the liquid, adjusting the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Continue ladling in about 1/2 cup broth at a time,stirring between additions and letting the rice absorb the liquid before adding more.
- When the rice has adsorbed about half the broth (about 10 minutes into the cooking process ),..stir in the asparagus and lemon zest, when the rice is al dente after 18 or so minutes of cooking time, stop adding broth.Vigorously beat in the butter, add the shrimp and lemon juice and stir just until heated, Stir in the parsley and remove from heat.
