• 1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, shelled and deveined
• 4 oz butter
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced

Directions

SIMMER chicken broth in a large pot on low heat until needed.

HEAT oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes, or until translucent. Stir in rice and cook for 1 minute, then add white wine. Add 1/2 cup of broth and stir until completely absorbed. Repeat until half of broth has been added. Stir the risotto frequently to prevent sticking.
