Notes: Good grief did I fix myself a "diet lunch" or what? Sheesh. Anyways, dinner was good. I have actually never made risotto before.... What? I KNOW. So anyways I found this recipe and checked the reviews- took the advice to roast the asparagus with olive oil and garlic in the oven, and cook the shrimp with lemon, garlic and butter separately. Added some crushed red pepper and used lemon juice instead of zest, vegetable broth instead of chicken.... and since my cousin was coming over we used vegan earth balance instead of real butter and no parmesan (GASP) and it still came out really great! Adding risotto to my list of comfort foods.
