Shrimp Risotto

In a 3-quart saucepan cook onion and garlic in hot oil over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Add the rice; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until rice is golden brown, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan bring broth to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and keep broth simmering. Carefully stir 1/2 cup of the broth into the rice mixture. Cook over medium heat until liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until the broth has been absorbed.

With the last addition of broth, add shrimp. Stir until rice reaches a tender and creamy consistency. (This should take 20 to 25 minutes total.)

Stir in cheese. Heat through, then sprinkle with lemon peel, if desired. Serve immediately.
