Instructions
- 1First prepare the shrimp. Clean them and quickly sauté in half of the olive oil (about 2 minutes) until they turn pink. Season with salt and pepper and immediately remove them from the pan onto a plate so they don't dry out.
- 2In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the grated zucchini and garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes, until the zucchini softens and releases water (this will be the base for creaminess).
- 3Stir in the rice and sauté (toast) it for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges of the grains become translucent. This is key for the rice to keep its "al dente" texture.
- 4Pour in the white wine and stir until the alcohol has completely evaporated. Then start gradually adding the hot stock, one ladle at a time. Stir the risotto constantly. Add the next ladle only once the rice has absorbed the previous liquid.
- 5Cook for about 15–18 minutes. Once the rice is cooked but still firm to the bite ("al dente"), remove the pan from the heat.
- 6Stir the cold butter, parmesan, lemon zest and the juice of half a lemon into the risotto. Gently mix until the risotto becomes creamy and glossy.
- 7Finally, stir in the previously sautéed shrimp and fresh parsley, then serve.
