Ingredients

4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup uncooked arborio rice
1 fresh thyme sprig
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup white wine or additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups chopped fresh spinach
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

In a small saucepan, heat broth and keep warm. In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add the rice, thyme, bay leaf and pepper; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in wine. Cook and stir until all of the liquid is absorbed.
Add heated broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the liquid to absorb between additions. Cook just until risotto is creamy and rice is almost tender. (Cooking time is about 20 minutes.) Add the shrimp and spinach; cook until shrimp turn pink and spinach is wilted.
Stir in cheese. Discard thyme and bay leaf. Serve immediately.
