Dinner For Two: Lemon Risotto with Grilled Shrimp

Do y’all need a dinner for two recipe to go with all those desserts for two recipes? I thought you might. I whipped up one of my favorite dinners: risotto. But, I scaled it down to serve two, and fancied it up with some lemon zest and spicy grilled shrimp. You’re going to love it.

I’m sharing the recipe for my Lemon Risotto with Grilled Shrimp over on Food Fanatic today.

I really love the shrimp kebab! So beautiful Christina! I think I am going to make something like this for Valentines Day this year. I definitely dont want to deal with all the crowds by going out, and Ive never made risotto, so I think its time to do so :) PS, thank you so much for your amazingly sweet comment on my blog the other day. Made my day a bit brighter :) Xo

Normally, I do eat dessert first but with this risotta I would gladly skip that unhealthy habit.

I guess we should probably eat dinner before all those great desserts! Love both shrimp and risotto - what a comforting, lovely dinner idea!

Risotto is always a hit. The only downside, there are never enough leftovers to make my Gramma's famous rice balls.

I made this for our Valentine's Day dinner -- it was delicious!! I would not have considered adding lemon zest to the risotto, but it was perfect!
