Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup arborio rice and toast, stirring, until edges are translucent, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 1 cup diced tomatoes and 2.5 cups broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is creamy and tender, about 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 0.5 lb shrimp and 0.5 cup grated parmesan. Cook, stirring, until shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 2 tbsp chopped parsley and serve immediately with extra parmesan if desired.
