The flavors of the risotto developed beautifully. I found that using olive oil for sauteing the onions and rice also worked very well - I prefer being able to control the butter content at the end. I did however have a huge problem with the shredded shrimp - it absorbed a lot of the moisture when I added it, and it produced a very unpleasant grainy texture from the small particles of protein. I probably over-processed it. Nevertheless, next time I think I will simply chop the shrimp into small pieces. Otherwise the recipe was great! Hello!

From your receipe and readers comments seems that this receipe is very promising. But there is something I don't understand. The part with the stock. After straining the mixture what happens with it. Sorry but i couldn't understand! Thanx Hello David!

I spent a goodly amount of time developing the recipe—I think I made four or five batches. But, hey, who's complaining? Even the failures were pretty damn good.

It was a different process than my usual risotto dishes, but WELL worth the extra work. However much work you did on perfecting this, I thank you. I have quite a bit of shrimp stock left...methinks there might be a shrimp bisque in my near future. David, this is a crazy good recipe!

Let me see if I can borrow one. Lorna, I’d love to try it, but, alas, I’d have to get a pressure cooker first. Let me see if I can borrow one.

This risotto sounds delicious. I'd love you to try making risotto in the pressure cooker to see what you think. It takes only 4 minutes under pressure, then a few minutes of stirring at the end. Can I send you the 20th anniversary edition of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0061707872/leitesculinari" rel="nofollow">Cooking Under Pressure</a> that just came out?

It was a bit like gilding the lily. Martha, I prefer it without, which is why I removed it. It was a bit like gilding the lily.

Do you like this dish better with or without the cream? Thanks. I previously saved a shrimp risotto recipe of yours, but it had cream added at the end.
