Shrimp risotto | the ultimate shrimp dish!

This creamy prawn (aka shrimp) risotto with tomatoes and green peas is an easy one pan meal that is delicious and comforting.

This recipe is inspired by the traditional Risotto ai Frutti di Mare (Seafood Risotto). I’ve tried numerous versions of the classic in various Italian restaurants, and out of those experiences came this recipe. I simplified the process a tiny bit for the busy modern cook and added green peas to make it a complete one pan meal.

I chose prawns (or shrimp in the US) for my risotto simply because they are my favourite type of seafood. But don’t let my personal preference stop you from adding scallops, mussels or clams.
