This Curry Shrimp Risotto Gratin is based on a classic Spanish dish.
Curry Shrimp Risotto Gratin
The Curry Shrimp Risotto Gratin is one of those dishes that may well make it into your regular monthly repetoire.
It’s easy to make, tastes great and will impress your friends with the fancy version, i.e. I make two versions of it, a “plain” and a “fancy” one. The fancy one simply adds one large shrimp per person on top as a decorative kicker.
