Instructions
- In a medium stock-pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil and then turn off the heat, cover to keep warm.
- Head the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the shallot and saute until softened. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant.
- Add the arborio rice and stir to coat in the olive oil and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add in ½ cup warm chicken stock and stir gently until nearly absorbed.
- Continue to add in chicken stock ½ cup at a time allowing the rice to absorb the liquid between each turn.
- At about the halfway point of the liquid addition, add in the asparagus and the shrimp.
- Once all the liquid has been used and the shrimp is cooked and has reached a minimum internal temperature of 165 Degrees F, remove from heat.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and pepper. Serve.
