Green Risotto with Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1 cup arborio rice
• ½ pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

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

   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.
