Shrimp Scampi pasta is great, but swap the pasta for risotto, and you’ve got something truly next-level. While pasta relies on the shrimp sauce for flavor, risotto adds its own depth and a rich, creamy texture that perfectly complements the shrimp. It tastes like restaurant-quality, yet it’s easy to make at home!

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
🔹 Risotto is best fresh, but you can make it earlier in the day. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge, then reheat it slowly on the stove with a splash of broth or water to loosen it back up.
🔹 You can fully prep this ahead of time, cover with foil, and refrigerate. Then pop it in the oven when guests arrive since it only takes 10-15 minutes in the oven.
