For a shellfish-free version, swap the shrimp for white beans or sautéed mushrooms to keep it hearty. For a dairy-free dish, replace the Parmesan with a vegan hard cheese or nutritional yeast for a savory finish.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or simple sautéed greens to keep the meal light and bright. A chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon complements the citrus and seafood flavors without overpowering the risotto.
