Preparation
- Warm the Broth: In a saucepan, heat the seafood broth until simmering, then reduce the heat to keep it warm.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In the Beko ExpertFry pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat in slow cooking mode. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook the Orzo and Shrimp: Add the orzo pasta and baby shrimp to the pot and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden. Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the Broth: Begin adding the warm broth to the pot, a ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the orzo to absorb the liquid before adding more. Continue this process until the orzo is cooked al dente, about 10-12 minutes. You may not need to use all of the broth.
- Finish the Risotto: Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, unsalted butter, and chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the risotto has reached a creamy consistency.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
