This recipe really can be interpreted two ways: a fresh and healthy alternative to rich risotto, or a a delicious rich risotto that happens to be healthy too. :) So depending on the way you want to represent it to your guests, I have two recommendations... Keep in mind most of my recipes are healthy alternatives, but if you want to go with what appears to be a richer menu, I recommend a spinach salad with figs, blue cheese, and glazed pecans, with a warm bacon dressing: http://whattocookwhen.com/salads/green-salad-with-figs-pecans-and-a-warm-bacon-dressing/ And if you want to go with the healthy and fresh menu, then make this pear salad with a cider vinaigrette: http://whattocookwhen.com/salads/pear-and-blue-cheese-salad-with-cider-vinaigrette-dressing/ Either will be a perfect match to the risotto.

If you're like me and don't like reheated shrimp, only cook half the shrimp when you're cooking for two. Then cook the remaining half of the shrimp when you reheat the leftover risotto and enjoy the leftovers as much as the first time! OK – so I just reheated the leftovers last night.

And it's far less rich than regular risotto, even though it still has the wonderful creamy consistency. Give it a try - and let me know what he thinks! It’s actually not cream-tasting at all.

It's just too easy to ignore and though my husband says he doesn't like cream sauces, he probably won't notice the soy milk mixed in with the rice.
