Another Good Meal

After reading some of the comments, I prepared the shrimp separately. I heated the risotto, just adding enough water to make it moist but not soupy. I then added the veggies, cheese & butter. Next time I may microwave the veggies before adding them to the risotto. We didn't find the dill overwhelming at all, as some did, but we didn't really taste any lemon. Next time I will squeeze some lemon over the shrimp. So far all the meals we've ordered have been very good.

Different Texture

I noticed that the rice has a different texture, and the water is not fully absorbing it. I have to drain the liquid . Can you fix that?

Risotto Disappointment

Tonight I prepared the Shrimp & Asparagus Risotto (which I have enjoyed many times before). This was the first time I can remember the instructions calling for one half cup of water to be added. Well, I added it and it was a disaster! What should have been a rich and creamy dish turned into a soupy, watery gruel. The liquid did not boil off. I was able to pluck out some shrimp and vegetables, so I didn’t starve. I’m just glad I didn’t have company over for dinner.

Heartly shrimpy risotto!

I really like this meal. Easy to cook. Go for it! It's a no brainer.
Love herbs but I'm not sure dill is the perfect choice here. Maybe parsley instead?
I would exchange the arugula salad for extra asparagus also.

Risotto texture and thickness changed - and not for the better

4-6 weeks ago, I noticed that the risotto texture was changed, thinner and watery, maybe a change of actual rice. This is a downgrade from the prior risotto. The prior risotto was thicker. I could add some water to thin it to the desired consistency. But the new risotto is watery and not as good. Would love if the prior risotto was brought back. 7/14/24
