Risotto

In a saucepot with a thread of olive oil on medium heat sweat the onions until translucid, then add the arborio and contonue to cook until translucid as well.

Next, cover the rice with the stock and continue cooking until it has been mostly abosrbed and continue to repeat this process until the rice is cooked. Once cooked, lay the rice out on a baking sheet to cool it down. Set aside.

In another frying pan, heat olive oil and a bit of butter on medium heat then add the shrimps, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side. Season them and set aside.

Bring a saucepot of salted water to a boil, then add your greens peas and cook for 7-8 minutes. Strain and drop them in an ice bath to stop them from overcooking.

Prepare your lemon zests as well as the slices of smoked salmon.
