How to make Parmesan risotto with spicy shrimp
Can I make this ahead?
Risotto really is best served freshly made, same goes for the shrimp/prawns. You can cook the risotto to the point where the rice is half-way cooked (it needs to be quite firm still). Allow to cool completely then continue the cooking approximately 20 minutes before you want to serve the risotto. Leftover risotto can be refrigerated and turned into Arancini. I wouldn’t recommend freezing risotto, the rice tends to be very floury once thawed.
