Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a blender, puree 1 cup peas with 1/2 cup broth until smooth. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup arborio rice and stir until coated and slightly translucent, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 2 cups broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is absorbed before adding more, until rice is creamy and tender, about 15 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the pea puree and 1/2 cup parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    In a separate pan, sear 1/2 pound shrimp over medium-high heat until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Serve shrimp over risotto.
