Preparation

Step 1
In a large pot, heat the oil, add the medium onion and saute 5 minutes. Add the celery and tomato and saute 2 minutes. Add the shrimp shells, fish bones, 1 cup wine and water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes; strain. Place broth in a saucepan and keep at a bare simmer.
Step 2
In a large, heavy saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Add small onion and cook until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in ⅓ cup wine, then ½ cup broth. Cook 3 minutes. Stir in radicchio.
Step 3
Add broth ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly and adding more broth as it is absorbed by the rice. Adjust heat so rice and broth cook at a steady simmer. After about 15 minutes, the rice should be somewhat tender and some broth should be left. Stir in all but 4 shrimp.
Step 4
Cook another few minutes, adding broth as needed, until rice is al dente. Stir in brandy and 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with shrimp and parsley; serve immediately.
