Lemon and Artichoke Risotto With Shrimp image

I adapted this recipe from Rachel Ray's 365: No Repeats cookbook. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or they will be rubbery. The estimate for the amount of liquid will vary depending on the several factors, but you should be safe with at least 6 cups of pre-heated liquid, you can expect your rice to be done once you have added 4-6 cups. Start checking for texture after the 4th cup is added.
