Start by preparing the risotto with arborio rice and shrimp.

Add chopped onion and garlic to the pan and sauté until translucent.

Incorporate the arborio rice and toast it lightly in the pan.

Deglaze the pan with white wine to add flavor and vibrancy.

Gradually add vegetable stock to the rice, stirring until absorbed before adding more.

Mix in diced apricots for sweetness and texture.

Add shrimp to the risotto and cook until they turn pink and opaque.

Finish the dish with goat cheese for creaminess and a rich texture.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Prepare a lemon beurre blanc by reducing white wine, butter, cream, thyme, and rosemary in a separate pan.

Serve the risotto hot, drizzled with the lemon beurre blanc.
