Ingredients:

Serving

6 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups risotto rice (vialone, arborio or carnaroli)
1/2 cup vermouth or 1/2 cup dry white wine
12 large tiger shrimp , in the shell split down the centre
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup shredded fresh basil leaf
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 lemons , juice and zest of

Directions:

Pour the stock into a saucepan and place over medium heat, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer.
In another saucepan, heat half the oil and all the butter. Add the shallots and cook gently for 5 minutes, then add the rice and stir until well coated. Pour in the vermouth and stir until absorbed by the rice.
Add a ladleful of hot stock, keep stirring the simmering rice until the liquid is almost completely absorbed. Now add another ladleful of stock and continue cooking, adding more stock only when the previous liquid has been completely absorbed.
After 15 to 20 minutes, the rice will be creamy and cooked but still slightly al dente. Preheat the broiler and place the shrimp on a baking sheet, shell-side down. Season them with salt and pepper, then drizzle over the remaining olive oil. Broil the shrimp just until they turn opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir the herbs, zest and juice (you should have about 2/3 cup (150 mL) into the rice. Season with salt and pepper, then divide the risotto between 6 plates and top with the cooked shrimp.
