This comforting dish combines the delicate flavors of shrimp with the creaminess of risotto, making it perfect for a festive Christmas dinner that will leave your guests feeling cozy and satisfied.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broth: In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm throughout the cooking process.
2. Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

7. Incorporate Cream and Shrimp: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the heavy cream, fresh lemon juice, and the cooked shrimp. Mix well to combine and heat through.
