Instructions
Risotto:
- Finely chop onion and garlic.

- Add the rice and let it sauté with the onion for a couple of minutes.
- Add white wine and let it evaporate.
- Next, add the vegetable bouillon - use a ladle - a little at a time and stir constantly, so the rice slowly absorbs the liquid.
- When the rice has reached the desired consistency, add the mascarpone, and season the risotto with salt and pepper.
Filling:
- Remove the intestinal tract from the shrimp with a small, sharp knife. Dry them, so they are not wet.

Notes
Tip: Thin slices of rye bread are toasted in a pan (or in the oven) with a little oil. Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt after toasting and crush it over the dish. It tastes fantastic and adds both crunch and crispiness to the soft, creamy risotto!
