Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a pot, combine the broth and 0.25 cup of wine and bring to a boil. Maintain a gentle simmer.

Step 2

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add half of the garlic and the red pepper, then the shrimp. Cook for 2 minutes, until the shrimp start to change color. Add the remaining wine and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain the shrimp, reserving the juices.

Step 3

Melt the remaining butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and the remaining garlic. Sauté for 4 minutes until the onion turns golden. Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes. Then add 2 cups of hot broth and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid evaporates. Next, add 1 cup of broth and continue cooking, gradually adding more broth, for about 20 minutes, until the rice is tender. Then stir in the reserved shrimp juice and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
