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

Delicious

Delicious dish, BUT needs more asparagus. Risotto a little too gummy. I cooked the shrimp separately because they would be overcooked otherwise. That way they remained crisp and fresh. I also added grated cheese. This could also be made with pasta or egg noodles, avoiding the gummy risotto issue.

Still Fabulous

This could be our favorite G&T meal. Shrimp are plentiful and good size (I actually cut each one in 1/2). Risotto is rich and creamy and the portion is huge. Asparagus and peas are fresh. Arugula salad goes great with it and I thought the dressing was perfect (last review, I commented that I didn’t love it). We will keep ordering this meal.

Great Choice

I really wondered how the risotto would fare with this cooking method and the answer is - perfectly. I very much enjoyed this meal. The amount of shrimp was plentiful and they were larger than some other meal services provide. I thought the lemon flavor was great, not overpowering, and I am embarrassed to say I didn't taste the dill at all; and I would have known it was there because I really don't love that flavor. I would definitely order this again.
