shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Chicken breast is lower in calories, while canned tuna is cost-effective and offers similar protein.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative, while pecorino is often less expensive.

1

Stay next to the risotto while cooking to prevent the rice from burning.

2

Do not add all the liquid at once; add it gradually for a creamy texture.

3

Finish the risotto with a little bit of butter and some parmesan cheese.

4

For seafood risotto, use less parmesan or none at all, as it may not mix well with fish.

5

Cook the shrimp separately from the risotto.

6

When preparing the shrimp, leave the tails on and cut the shrimp in half for better presentation and faster cooking.
