After making this a few times and loving it, I decided to try adapting the technique to make mushroom risotto and it worked beautifully. I substituted about 2 C of dried mushrooms for the shrimp shells and made the broth in the exact same manner. To replace the shrimp, I used one small package of fresh mushrooms - baby portabellas but I'll probably try something more interesting next time now that I know this works. Since the mushrooms need far more cooking time than the shrimp, I added them with the veggies part way through their cooking cycle. This created a lot more water which I then had to strain out before adding the rice. Next time I might just try adding the fresh mushrooms after the rice has browned but before the wine.
Finally made this tonight. Perfect recipe! I used olive oil for the shells and clarified butter for the veggies. Didn't really get any of the fennel taste but this risotto is a home run. A shrimp in every bite!
I made this dish this past Sunday holy moly was it good, actually it was great, this turned out better than any risotto I've ever eaten at a restaurant Thank you so much for sharing
Omgosh I love risotto and you had me at not babysitting it lol. I was ready to look for fennel until you said licorice. Honestly that is good info for viewers as that may not be a common staple in many kitchens. Not sure what would be a sub for that ingredient? 🤔 Definitely making this week for dinner.
You could possibly replace with a little bit more onion (not the full amount, though!) or some celery, although it would change the flavor of the dish. If you wanted to totally leave it out, that should be fine, too.
I am like you, I love the whole team. They all seem to get along so well. I love watching those two together too, but I also love watching Julia Colin Davidson with them as well. And, I love watching the lady that is another nationality. I'm not sure how to spell her name, so I'm not going to go there.
@@AnaJimenez-qy1gk The way that we do it in the restaurant, put the onion and celery in the shrimp stock, so you have the flavor but not the solids in the risotto.
I was thinking the same thing. That's a great way to get more shrimp flavor into that risotto. They just don't waste anything on that show that they don't have to. I saw them cooking some meat on there before and they cut some of the little fat pieces off as they left it around the edge of the meat for it to make some flavor in the bottom.
Oh gosh,that looks so rich and creamy...I've got to make this soon !! When Elle added that lemon juice and chives,I knew it was the recipe for me.Thanks for sharing Elle !!
Any substitute for having to buy shelled shrimp and making shrimp stock? It's a pain to deshell and devain, and shrimp comes prepared without shells/vains. Fish sauce?
If you use fish or seafood broth it should be just as good. I enhance commercial broth with vegetables and herbs but I cover it so I don't loose too much broth to evaporation.
You know I'm single, and was just wondering if one of those gal's is looking for a test kitchen man ,I'm a heck of a taster,had to throw that out there, thank you.

You may be great cooks but your Chemistry comments are way off. Salting the shrimp won't "seal in moisture" it will do just the opposite. Baking soda won't raise the pH of anything as it is a buffer compound that will tend to neutralize acids and bases.
Risottare is the technique, if you don't follow the technique you should not call it risotto. The technique for risotto calls for Tostare, Sfumare, Risottare and Mantecare. Neither was done properly, NEVER COVER IT and let's not forget a very important ingredient that seems to lack in your kitchen: patience. Only these steps will deliver a final product that deserves to be called Italian Risotto not only in flavor but most important in consistency. Perhaps you could call it ARROZ ASOPADO CON CAMARONES E HINOJO.
@@larrybud That's ok larrybud, I use to be a very busy person also. I'm sure that the arroz they made is very good, I just would not call it risotto.

@@verogrellet7628 Di prole. Amo tutti i piatti di riso come il arroz con pollo cubano, arroz chaufa peruviano, mujaddarah. Ma il risotto è il mio preferito.
There's no point in taking the fennel core out... I did this from when I was a kid until a couple of years ago (I'm 52) when Carla Lalli Music mentioned it in one of her videos. It was a habit I picked up from my mother and grandmother, but, really, there's no point to it. Just take an extra slice off the root end (because that's a bit dried out from being in the shop and your fridge) and use all of the bulb.
@@perotinofhackensack2064 usually it is good to have a bit more stock if you are doing Risotto the traditional way! Sometimes 1 cup rice to 3 cups stock but sometimes it can be 1 cup rice to 4 cups stock. But here they did not make it the traditional way. And I wonder is 20-25 shrimp shells (the size they recommend in the written recipe) are enough for 7 cups of stock... I have some ATK cookbooks and sometimes their recipes and steps are confusing logically and more complicated than they need to be.
So ..no olive oil, using baking soda, cooking the arborio a lott of time covered with no movement in this "risoro" as this lady calls it....well, maybe i could find an italian chef youtube video instead.
This would be a good recipe if they left the licorice vegetable out and that awful wine. You don't need acidity from wine when you turn around and put lemon juice in it. And she does like most chefs.... she's deviening that shrimp with a giant chef's knife... looks totally ridiculous.

dry rubber shrimp come from cooking the shrimp too long, It only takes 3 to 4 minutes to cook shrimp. So cook the risotto use the shrimp shell to make a broth when the risotto is done, add the shrime and stir until the shrimp turn light pink. Remove. No rubbery shrimp.

Just a thought: instead of straining the water, let it cook off and then let the mushrooms brown a bit. You'll get great flavor.

I’m not a big fan of fennel and I was thinking of exchanging it with fresh spinach. I’d love to know what ATK has to suggest for substitutions.
You don't need to substitute it.
Just don't put it.
The shrimp will shine even more!
add any similarly chopped veggie in
The core of the fennel old is tender. Don’t be afraid to use it.
Elle is looking FABULOUS!!!

I used 16 peppercorns and now it's too peppery 😂

You can throw in some extra onion or celery.

Making it!
What can you substitute for the fennel? I can’t stand the taste of licorice.
That's what I thought too .. but you don't get a licorice taste from it... try it... you'll see...
Why not use a smaller shrimp instead of cutting more expensive shrimp in thirds?
@@sandrah7512And they lack serious flavor compounds! You might as we be eating boiled tuna!
Can you substitute the wine for something else and skip the fennel? thank you.
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
using a tooth pick to devain the shrimp works much better! Insert the tooth pick at the third plate and lift upwards pulling the vain out.

Italian grandmothers are crying. 😥
Because they add the cheese? 😂
Elles my favorite ☺️
Their insistence on having us put baking soda in everything I'm gonna have to get a little counter top jar for it to go along with my salt and pepper
Elle looks great. It must be hard to loose weight when you work in a professional kitchen.
No depth. Stock need more time.. more shells. No sear on the shrimp.. They're better cooked separately, then add the pan juices to the risotto.
So you've made this or is this, to quote The Dude, "like, your opinion" ?
@@charlieharris3240 believe it or not, yes I have. Made lobster risotto more than shrimp, but I've done shrimp risotto several times.
Can we freeze the leftover shrimp stock? (I know…silly question, but …)
I did when I made it. I put it into ice cube trays
Without white wine inside? No way
Wow, All the test kitchen women have lost weight!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You only added 4 cups of water
To the shrimp shells - - you said seven

Chef Scott! You need to fold your fingers, and knuckle the knife, so you don't nip off fingertips. Looks delish, otherwise
Delicious! Jesus loves you all! 😊
You don’t how you cut finally
Looks great, however a lot of Italians had a coronary when you added the Parmesan cheese to it. In Italy, they don't use cheese with seafood.
It's ok. You use cheese with risotto....

Why did they use 7 cups if water and 4 3/4 cups of stock?
5 minutes of boiling is not enough to reduce the 7 cups of stock to 4 3/4.
Was thinking along a similar line. That girl has always struck me as robotic, and a tad uninspiring as far as content accuracy is concerned....

As a chef who makes Italian food every single day .. I'll never forgive her for the crimes she committed
Gee, I'm sure that keeps her up at tonight tossing vigorously in bed with frustration and agony 🥴😅!
Just broke an Italian food law. Parm with seafood.
Baking soda ??? What the H ! And there is no cheese in a seafood risotto !!!
Bridgets comments and moaning were not it.
Why did she use the shrimp shears backwards?
This one is real joke😢😢😢😢
No stir, parmesan with seafood, no thank you.
Wrong
Cheese with prawns?! What’s that mushy mess?! Gadzooks!
She lost a lot of weight I almost didn’t recognize her.

It was going good until the dreaded Fennel came out. YUK!!!
Fennel seems to be one of those “love it or hate it” things - but for those who love it (like me), its flavour pairs well with shrimp.
If you don’t like fennel, perhaps try celery.
