shrimp risotto with asparagus and mushroom

Recipe by

This dish has just enough flavor of garlic and lemon to keep it refreshing without being overpowering. The shrimp has a slightly sweet flavor to offset the tang of lemon and parmesan with the risotto. Amazing combination of flavors. A perfect dish served with a light green salad of your choice.
