Steps:
- Peel the bottom third of the asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler. Snap each stalk where it breaks naturally; reserve 4 of the peeled bottoms for crostini (below). Thinly slice 6 asparagus bottoms and place the rest of the bottoms in a saucepan with 8 cups water and the thyme to make asparagus broth; bring to a simmer.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until glossy, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Pour in the wine and stir until absorbed. Stir in 1/2 cup of the asparagus broth until absorbed (use a ladle to add the broth, keeping the solids in the pan). Continue to add broth in 1/2-cup increments, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more, about 10 minutes. (You should have about half the broth left.) Stir in the sliced asparagus bottoms and the lemon zest. Add the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until the rice is just tender, 5 to 8 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the asparagus tips in a large skillet, cover with water and season with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-high heat until just tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the parmesan and lemon juice to the risotto. Stir in the lettuce, remove from the heat and season with salt. Divide among bowls, top with the robiola and season with pepper. Drizzle the asparagus tips with olive oil and spoon over the risotto.

There will be some left-over broth mixture.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your risotto will taste. If possible, use organic vegetables and sustainably sourced seafood.
- Cook the Rice Properly: Risotto rice should be cooked slowly and gradually, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients. Don't rush the process; it takes time to make perfect risotto.
- Use a Good Broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your risotto. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken, vegetable, or seafood broth.
- Add the Ingredients in Stages: Don't add all the ingredients to the risotto at once. Add them in stages, allowing each ingredient to cook through before adding the next.
- Stir the Risotto Regularly: Stirring the risotto regularly will help prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help to release the starch from the rice, which will give the risotto its creamy texture.
- Don't Overcook the Risotto: Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, with a slight bite to it. Overcooked risotto will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Season to Taste: Once the risotto is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.
Conclusion:
Garlic Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, as long as you follow the tips above. With a little practice, you will be able to make perfect risotto every time.
