Instructions

Step 1
Place the farro, onion, 2 tablespoons butter, thyme, salt, pepper, white wine, and chicken stock in the pot. Stir until combined.

Step 2
Place all Level 2 ingredients in a large bowl and toss until coated. Place the bottom layer of the Deluxe Reversible Rack in the lower position, cover with aluminum foil, then place the rack in the pot. Place the asparagus on top of the foil.

Step 3
Slide the Deluxe Layer through the lower layer’s handles.

Step 4
Add all Level 3 ingredients to a large bowl and toss until evenly coated. Place a 15-inch sheet of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Add the shrimp mixture to the center and fold the edges in to create a sealed packet. Place the foil packet on the Deluxe Layer.

Step 5
Close the lid and move slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 380°F, and set time to 35 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 10 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).

When cooking is complete, carefully remove the entire rack with the shrimp packet and asparagus.

Add the Parmesan cheese, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and lemon juice to the pot. Stir until creamy.

Step 8
Serve the farro with the shrimp and asparagus and lemon wedges, if desired.
