In her cheater’s risotto, Kay Chun doesn’t bother with stirring; instead, she bakes the rice in the oven, then adds shrimp and cheese at the very end. Slideshow: How to Make Risotto

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, sliced
1 cup arborio rice
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for garnish
20 cooked shelled large shrimp
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
Pesto sauce, for serving

How to Make It

Step

Preheat the oven to 400°. In an enameled medium cast-iron casserole, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and rice and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until very fragrant, 2 minutes. Stir in the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and bake for about 20 minutes, until the rice is tender. Stir in the 1/2 cup of cheese, the shrimp, butter and lemon juice; season with salt. Serve drizzled with pesto and garnished with cheese.

Review Body: Baking risotto was a pleasant surprise! This recipe misses a couple standard ingredients like shallot and wine. But will definitely make again with a couple additions.

Review Body: What can you use as a substitute if you don't own an enameled medium cast-iron casserole dish? I have Pyrex glass.

Review Body: Delicious! sauteed my shrimp in a bit of butter and sliced garlic and peeled it while the rice was baking. I did not use the pesto or the lemon, and the chicken stock I used was reduced salt. This recipe produced a delicious entree that I just can't praise enough. I will make this recipe again and have added it to the rotation. Delicious and 5 stars!

Review Body: This recipe produced a most delicious entree. I sauteed the raw shrimp, peel on, in some butter and garlic slices. I sauteed for about 2 minutes per side and peeled the shrimp when they were cooled and while I was waiting for the rice to finish baking I used low-salt chicken broth, since I am on a salt restricted diet, and did not use the lemon juice or the pesto or any additional salt. This rice dish was just fine without the addition of these ingredients. I was so pleased with the delicious outcome of this recipe. I highly recommend it, have added it to my rotation, and give it 5 stars.

Review Body: Out of Arborio rice! All that’s left is Calrose rice! Maybe if I add a sauce. Maybe another time.
