Risotto con gamberi is a traditional risotto made with shrimp as the key ingredient. The other ingredients used in the dish include risotto rice, butter or olive oil, onions, celery, garlic, stock, white wine, and seasonings. Once cooked, when the rice has become al dente, tender and creamy, the heat is turned off and the dish is ready to be served.

It's recommended to top the risotto with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano on top. For the best results, leave the risotto to sit for a few minutes before serving.
