Crawfish Risotto

Ingredients

1 pound Louisiana crawfish tails
1 cup prepped risotto
1 cup shellfish stock
1 1/3 Tbsp. finely diced shallots
1 tsp. finely diced garlic
¼ cup butter
1 1/3 Tbsp. fine herbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Place butter in a small, preheated sauté pan. When it foams, gently sweat shallots and garlic for about one minute and add parsley and risotto. Stir to coat, raise heat and add half of the stock and stir until it has been absorbed before adding the other half. Add the crawfish tails. When it’s almost dry, remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Taste for doneness and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
