Lower in fat than most risotto recipes but no one will know! I like to serve this as a main dish under some steamed halibut or other white fish.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook until the shrimp are just opaque in the center, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the shrimp and juices to a bowl to cool.
- Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil to the pan. Add the fennel and onions. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, 30 seconds. Add the rice. Stir until well coated and translucent in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the wine. Cook until the wine is absorbed, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, lemon juice, zest, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the rice is just tender but still has some bite and the risotto is creamy, stirring often, 13 to 14 minutes.
- Mix in the arugula. Stir until the arugula wilts, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp. Mix in additional broth if needed, 1/4 cup at a time, until the risotto is creamy.
- Spoon the risotto into 4 shallow soup bowls.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add shallots and garlic. Cook until shallots are soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in white wine and simmer until wine is reduced by half. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in rice. Keep stirring until all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Next add hot stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until liquid is absorbed. Continue this process, adding stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition, until rice is al dente. You may not need the full 3 cups so test the rice after 20 minutes or when you've used 2 1/2 cups of the stock and adjust accordingly.
- Turn heat to lowest setting and add Parmesan cheese, cream, and lemon juice. Stir until cheese has melted and everything has been incorporated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and turn heat off.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat and add shrimp. Cook until shrimp tails curl up, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
- To serve, spoon risotto into bowls, top with shrimp and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedge if desired.

LEMON ASPARAGUS RISOTTO
Steps:
- For the asparagus: Cut off the asparagus tops and reserve. Chop the stems into pieces, discarding the woody bits. (If the stems are really thick and tough looking, peel them first.) Heat the oil and butter in a saute pan. Add the stem pieces and cook 5 minutes. Add the garlic and then the asparagus tips. Pour over 1/4 cup/60 ml water, season with salt and pepper and cook until tender, 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the asparagus. (If you like, you can add a sprig of fresh rosemary to the dish with the garlic and asparagus tips, then remove it at the end)
- For the risotto: On a separate burner, in a pot, bring the chicken stock to a simmer. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and cook the onions and shallots until soft, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the rice and stir until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the wine and reduce until almost dry. Add a ladle of stock and cook, stirring, until it disappears. Continue one ladle at a time, until the rice is tender and creamy, about 30 minutes. To serve: Remove from the heat and stir through the asparagus, remaining tablespoon of butter, lemon zest and half the cheese. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the risotto into bowls and scatter over the remaining cheese.
