Shrimp risotto enriched with pistachio pesto.

Ingredients for 4 people:

For the pesto: 80g of unsalted shelled pistachios, 150g of extra virgin olive oil, juice of one lemon wedge, 5 basil leaves, water to taste.

For the rice: 2 litres water, one 800g pack of Arbi shrimps, 320g Carnaroli rice, 2 shallots, half a glass of brandy, 6 black peppercorns, extra virgin olive oil to taste, salt to taste.

Method:

To prepare the pesto, put all ingredients in a container and blend with hand blender, adding water to obtain a creamy consistency.

Defrost the shrimp under cold running water, then clean by separating the flesh from the shell.

For the broth, sauté 1 chopped shallot, add the shells and black peppercorns to hot oil, cook for 5 minutes and deglaze with the brandy making it evaporate, then add the water and reduce by a quarter; strain the crustacean fumet and set aside.

In a saucepan, fry the other chopped shallot in olive oil, add the rice and toast it, then gradually pour on the hot crustacean fumet, evaporating as you go; towards the end add the prawns, half of which are diced, and finish cooking, leaving the rice slightly "al dente".

Turn off the heat, stir in the pesto and serve.

If wished, you can garnish with pistachios, chopped and toasted in a frying pan.
