In a large pan , heat the olive oil, then add about 2 tbsp. of chopped onion and 1 tsp. of garlic , for few minutes . Then add shrimp , cook for 2 minutes , don’t overcook or it will be chewy . Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate .<\/p>\n 2. Add little bit more olive oil , add the rest of the minced garlic and the chopped onion , and cook for about 5 minutes . Then add arborio rice , and toast it for few minutes . Then add 2\/3 cup of white wine , cook until the wine evaporates .<\/p>\n 3. Add the shrimp stock , about 1-2 cups , and keep stirring under medium low heat . Make sure your stock is hot \/ warm when you add it into the rice , so your rice will cook right , or else it will cook on the outside and undercook inside . If i were you , i would keep the shrimp stock on the low heat while you cook the risotto . Keep stirring , don’t leave them cooking alone , stirring constantly , and add more stock a cup or a ladle or 2 , into the rice , until the rice is done cooking . Usually it takes about 6-8 cups of the stock . Taste it , the rice should be creamy but not mushy .<\/p>\n 4. Add chopped green onion , leave some for garnish , and add the shrimp during the last minute of cooking . Serve right away .<\/p>\n
