Preparation

1. Bring stock to a simmer in a saucepan.
2. Chop the onion.
3. Heat the oil in a nonstick pot, and saute the onion until it takes on a little color.
4. Meanwhile, start scraping corn off the cobs.
5. When the onion is ready, stir in the rice until it is well coated.
6. Stir in the vermouth, and cook until it has evaporated, a couple of minutes. Continue scraping corn off the cobs.
7. When the wine has evaporated, add about a cup of the stock to the rice and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until liquid has been absorbed. Repeat until rice is tender but firm.
8. Meanwhile, finish scraping corn; wash, trim and coarsely chop the tomatoes.
9. After adding next to the last cup of stock, wash, dry and chop the basil. About 2 minutes before the rice is cooked, add corn kernels, tomatoes and basil, and stir well. You may not need to add all of the stock.
10. Grate the cheese, and stir into the rice just before serving. Season with pepper.
11. Arrange the risotto on a platter, and surround with shrimp.
