Instructions:

: * BROTH:
1 lb medium shrimp
1 clove garlic -- chopped
1 md onion -- chopped
1 chopped carrot -- (1/3 to
1/2 cup)
1 stalk celery -- chopped
1 TB parsley
: Salt and pepper -- to taste
5 c water

2 TB olive oil
1/4 c chopped onion
1 clove garlic -- chopped
1 TB unsalted butter
2 TB olive oil
1 c arborio rice
1/2 c dry white wine
1 sm tomato -- diced
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese

BROTH (30 min) Clean the shrimp, devein. Reserve the shells. Place
shrimp shells in large saucepan. Add garlic, onion, carrot, celery,
parsley, water and salt to taste. Simmer gently 20-25 minutes.
Strain, discard shells and vegetables, reserve broth and set aside.

RISOTTO (25 min) Heat 2 tablespoons oil in *large* skillet, saute
onion and garlic lightly, add shrimp, salt and pepper. Saute just
until pink. Set aside; shrimp may be cut in half, if desired.

In the same *large* skillet, over medium heat, combine oil and butter
(or use all butter or oil), saute onion and garlic until wilted but
don't brown. Add rice. Stir to coat, add a cup of the reserved shrimp
broth, cook, stirring frequently until rice has absorbed liquid. Add
diced tomato and wine. Continue cooking and stirring, adding broth 1
cup at a time, until rice is creamy and tender but al dente (about 3
cups). This should take about 18 minutes; adding shrimp during the
last 5 minutes of cooking. Add more broth if necessary.Stir in cheese
just before serving. One tablespoon of butter can also be mixed in at
the end for extra creaminess. Serve immediately.
