  • Reduce heat to low and stir in cheese and peas. Cook for another 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide rice into 4 soup cups (sprayed with pan spray). Cover and keep warm.
  • In a large sauté pan heat oil and sauté shrimp and pancetta on both sides until pancetta is nicely browned. Add Shiitake mushrooms and shallots and sear for 1 minute. Deglaze pan with sweet vermouth and reduce all to light syrup, add butter and toss.
  • PresentationOn six large dinner plates, place radicchio leaves to form a cup. Fan endive leaves from center out. Place a small bundle of daikon sprouts on each leaf. Unmold risotto and lace on center leaf. Place a cooked shrimp on each leaf and spoon sauce over each. Serve.
