Risotto's origins can be traced back to the introduction of rice cultivation in Italy, particularly in the Po Valley, during the Middle Ages. The specific combination of lemon and shrimp likely emerged later, influenced by coastal regions where fresh seafood and citrus fruits were readily available.

This risotto balances creamy richness with bright citrus and savory seafood.
The dominant flavor is the zesty and aromatic Sicilian lemon, providing a refreshing acidity that cuts through the richness of the Arborio rice and butter. Shrimp adds a delicate sweetness and briny flavor. Parmesan cheese contributes umami and a salty, nutty dimension, while white wine enhances the overall depth of flavor.

Use High-Quality Ingredients
The quality of the rice (Arborio, Carnaroli, or Vialone Nano) and the freshness of the shrimp are crucial for the final flavor and texture.
Warm Broth is Key
Always use warm broth to maintain a consistent cooking temperature and ensure even absorption.
Stir Frequently but Gently
Stirring releases the starch from the rice, creating the creamy texture, but avoid over-stirring, which can make the risotto gummy.
Add Lemon Zest Late
Add most of the lemon zest towards the end of cooking to preserve its bright aroma and flavor.
