Steps:
- Put the shrimp shells and tails, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium saucepan. Cover with 7 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Strain the shrimp broth into a large liquid measuring cup. Discard the shells and garlic. You should be left with 6 cups of broth. If the broth reduced more, just supplement with a little extra water to yield 6 cups. Add the broth back into the empty saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
- Heat a large straight-sided skillet or braiser over medium-high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Add the chopped shrimp and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining 3 cloves of garlic and set aside. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and add 1 tablespoon of oil if the skillet is too dry, then add the sliced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Stir in the arborio rice until coated with the oil. Add the lemon juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until it has been mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Ladle 1 cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes; you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center.
- Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente and creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. If you run out of broth before the risotto is at its desired doneness, add some water.
- Stir in the arugula, shrimp and half of the lemon zest and cook until the arugula wilts slightly.
- Serve topped with the remaining lemon zest.

Steps:
- Put oil in a 10-inch skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to medium-high. Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice glistens and sizzles, 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add wine and let it boil away, stirring once or twice, until mixture is just about dry. Add a cup of hot water and repeat, stirring frequently. Add half the coconut milk and cook, stirring frequently, until it is just about gone. Add remaining coconut milk and repeat.
- At this point rice should be nearly tender; if it is not, repeat process with another 1/2 cup water. Stir in tomato if desired, shrimp, salt and cayenne and cook until mixture is creamy and rice is tender but not mushy. If rice is still too crunchy for your taste, stir in 1/2 cup water and cook, stirring, until mixture is creamy again. Garnish with cilantro, basil or scallions and serve.

Tips:
- To make the perfect risotto, use a heavy-bottomed pot and stir the rice constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the risotto, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or seafood broth, depending on your preference.
- Add the cheese and butter at the end of the cooking process. This will help to create a creamy and flavorful risotto.
- If you're using shrimp, cook them separately before adding them to the risotto. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
- Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best enjoyed fresh, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.
Conclusion:
Cilantro cream risotto with shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The creamy risotto is made with Arborio rice, white wine, and chicken broth, and it is flavored with cilantro, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with butter, white wine, and lemon juice. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's a great way to enjoy fresh seafood.
