Cheesy Avocado Risotto with Shrimp
Directions
- Pour chicken broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Adjust heat as needed to maintain simmer.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onions and 2 tablespoons garlic; sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until onions are tender. Add rice and stir; cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Add 1 cup of hot chicken broth and cook until almost all liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently. Continue adding 1/2 cup of broth at a time until all broth is used and is cooked and has a creamy consistency.
- In a small bowl, mash one avocado until smooth. Fold in lemon juice, salt and pepper. Dice the other avocado and set aside.
- When rice is fully cooked, fold in mashed avocado mixture, parmesan cheese, and parsley until well combined. Cover and set aside.

In another large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until shrimp is fully cooked.
