Ingredients
- 1 kg Gastronomia pre-cooked Carnaroli rice – Code : P600

Preparation
1- Prepare the shrimp
- Season the shrimp with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a touch of lemon zest.

2- Reactivate the risotto
- In a sauté pan, melt a small knob of butter with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Add the pre-cooked Carnaroli rice and gradually pour in the hot stock, stirring gently to regain the risotto’s creamy texture (about 5–6 minutes).
- Deglaze with white wine and allow to reduce slightly.
3- Flavour and enrich
- Stir in the lemon zest, then add the butter and Parmesan.
- Add a little cream if desired for extra richness.
- Adjust seasoning and finish with a splash of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
4- Plating
