This risotto was a bit disappointing. The shrimp and scallops were overcooked and the risotto was bland.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I substituted the shrimp and scallops with chicken. It turned out great!

This risotto is a great way to use up leftover shrimp and scallops. It's also a very affordable meal to make.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my risotto turned out mushy. It was still tasty, but it wasn't the creamy risotto I was hoping for.
