Ingredients for One-Pot Herb and Garlic Shrimp Risotto

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or wide saucepan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and chopped onion; sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add Arborio rice and stir to coat the grains with oil, cooking for 1-2 minutes until edges become translucent.
Pour in white wine (if using) and cook, stirring frequently, until mostly absorbed.
Begin adding warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently, allowing liquid to absorb before adding the next ladle.
Continue this process for about 15 minutes until rice is creamy and just tender.
Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Push risotto slightly to the sides and add shrimp to the center of the pan.
Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then gently fold shrimp into the risotto.
Turn off heat and stir in fresh parsley, basil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
