Risotto with shrimps

This is a fine risotto that is easy to make and you can use fresh shrimps or frozen! It’s good either way! It has some onion and of course garlic and some red peppers! To season, we use either some “pili-pili” peppers or some French Espelette pepper but if you don’t find either you can use some chili powder or some Cayenne pepper! It’s cooked into white wine for more flavor and you do not need to be on top of the casserole to observe the cooking! It’s easy, very good and quick!
