Instructions

Begin by cleaning the shrimp. Remove the shell, and make a slice starting from the head running towards the tail. Clean out any excess waste under cold water. If you prefer, you can remove the whole shrimp shell, or leave the tail.
Next, begin heating the olive oil. Once warm, add in the chopped shallots and garlic. Let them fry for about a minute or two over medium-high heat, making sure not to let them burn and stirring occasionally. Once they are ready, add in the arborio rice, and give it a quick stir, until the rice is fully coated with the shallot and garlic oil mix.
