Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
2 tsp olive oil
2 3/4 cups sweet onions (about 2 medium)
1 cup arborio rice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 cups asparagus, sliced (about 8 oz)
1 lb shrimp, peeled , devined and chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 oz feta cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)
1 tbsp dill, chopped
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

Bring broth and 1 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in rice and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 30 minutes total).
Stir in asparagus and shrimp; cook 5 minutes or until shrimp are done, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in cheese and remaining ingredients.
Note: The first time I tried this recipe, I found that the asparagus was not quite cooked, so I now microwaved it for about 1 minute, then added it to the rice mixture.
