How To Make Easy Ninja Foodi Shrimp Risotto

Step One: Start by sauting the onions in olive oil, for a few minutes, just until they are translucent, and tender.

Step Two: Then add the rice and minced garlic, and saute for a couple of minutes, until the rice is toasted.

Step Three: Add the wine, and mix well. You really want to get all of the little bits of rice, onion, and garlic that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Then add your chicken broth, cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add your pressure cooker lid and set the time to 8 minutes. (High) When the time is up, do a release by turning the vent open.

Step Four: Mix well, after opening the lid.

Step Five: Add the shrimp, and press the sear/saute function on the Ninja Foodi. Saute for a couple of minutes, until the shrimp is opaque.

Easy Ninja Foodi Shrimp Risotto Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh or Properly Thawed Shrimp: Ensures tender, juicy shrimp without overcooking.
• Toast the Rice: Sautéing the arborio rice before adding liquids gives a nutty, rich flavor.
• Stir Occasionally: Even though the Ninja Foodi helps, occasional stirring ensures a creamy consistency.
• Adjust Liquid as Needed: Depending on your rice and pressure settings, you may need a little extra broth.
• Add Cheese at the End: Mixing in Parmesan after cooking keeps it creamy and prevents clumping.
• Customize Flavors: Add fresh herbs like parsley or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.

Storing Instructions

Store leftover shrimp risotto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep it covered to maintain moisture and prevent the rice from drying out.

Easy Ninja Foodi Shrimp Risotto Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen shrimp? Yes! Just make sure to thaw them completely before adding to the risotto to avoid excess water and uneven cooking.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian? Absolutely! Substitute shrimp with mushrooms, asparagus, or other favorite vegetables and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Do I need to stir the risotto constantly? Not with the Ninja Foodi! Occasional stirring is enough to ensure creamy texture and prevent sticking.

Can I make this ahead of time? You can prep the ingredients ahead, but risotto is best enjoyed immediately for optimal creaminess.

How do I keep the risotto creamy when reheating? Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water to restore the creamy consistency.

What cheese works best in this recipe? Parmesan or Pecorino Romano adds the perfect savory, creamy flavor.
