  1. In a large saucepan, bring broth to a simmer; keep hot. In another large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add rice; cook and stir until rice is coated, 1-2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Stir in wine. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer; cook and stir until wine is absorbed.
  2. Add hot broth, 1/2 cup at a time, cooking and stirring until broth has been absorbed after each addition. Cook until rice is tender but firm to the bite, and risotto is creamy. Add shrimp; cook until shrimp turn pink. Stir in cheese, parsley and pepper. Serve immediately.
