(Risotto con Gamberetti)

In 1996, actor Stanley Tucci wrote, codirected, and costarred in a movie called Big Night, about two Italian brothers struggling to keep their restaurant alive in a sleep New Jersey shore town. Tucci's inspiration came from his mother's Italian specialties—dishes like this one.

Instructions

Step 1

Heat 2 tbsp. of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until shrimp are almost done, about 1 minute. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2

Add remaining 1 tbsp. oil and reduce heat to medium-low. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

dd rice, stirring to coat with oil. Add wine and tomatoes and cook, stirring, until rice absorbs all liquid, 2-3 minutes. Add hot stock 1 cup at a time. Continue cooking, stirring constantly and allowing rice to absorb all liquid before adding additional stock.

Step 4

Add shrimp and cook, stirring, until rice is tender and risotto is creamy but not wet, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, stir in parmigiano-reggiano.
