"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
1 shallot
2 cloves garlic
4 T. unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 ˝ c. arborio rice
3 sprigs fresh thyme
⅓ c. dry white wine
1 8-oz. bottle clam juice

Directions:
Directions:
1. Set Instant Pot to sauté on the medium setting. Chop the shallot and garlic. When pot is hot, add 2 T. butter, then add the shallot, garlic and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the rice and thyme sprigs and cook until rice is toasted, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine, scraping the bottom of the pot, and cook until evaporated, about 30 seconds. Turn off sauté function.
2. Stir in clam juice and 3 c. hot water into the pot. Close the lid and turn the steam valve to the sealing position. Set the pot to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. When the time is up, turn the valve to the venting position and release steam completely. Carefully open the lid.
3. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and add to the pot. Stir in the peas. With the pot still turned off, close the lid and let the shrimp cook through, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the parmesan and lemon zest to the risotto; stir in the remaining 2 T. butter until melted. Add a few dashes of water to loosen, if necessary. Discard the thyme sprigs. Divide among bowls. Top with lemon zest and serve with lemon wedges.

I think this is equivalent to a fancy restaurant meal! It was so delicious and not hard to make. This was one of the first and few meals I have made with my Instant Pot because I have been afraid of the thing! Totally worth going out of my comfort zone and trying!
