Shrimp Risotto

• This is a shrimp risotto I made from the fish stock I made last weekend . Risotto was made with olive oil , garlic , diced onions and alborio rice sauteed in a risotto pan. Stock was brought up to a simmer and ladled into risotto. Shrimp was shelled and deveined,marinated in olive oil and salt and pepper then sauteed with red pepper infused oil. After risotto was made the sauteed shrimp , chopped parsley  and butter added. Salt and pepper and a bit of sauteed shrimp oil from the pan was added to the risotto gave it a great taste.

Fish head soup!

I tried making fish stock for the first time this weekend. Went out to the Santa Barbara Seafood and picked up Salmon and Halibut bones. Added white wine and dry vermouth , root veggies, peppercorns,allspice berries, shallots and fennel. Smelled and tasted awesome! First dish will be shrimp risotto.
