So delicious and easy!
Yet another recipe discovered too late. I would never buy the cheese ball to make but, the shrimp and crab risotto was awesome! I think the marketing should’ve been focused more on this dish. I never made risotto until I saw this recipe. I’ve heard many people say that it’s hard to make. This recipe is a no fail, easy and just so delicious! Why not bring it back with the recipe in mind instead of a cheese ball??? Yummm!!!

Excellent
This my my first attempt at risotto and it turned out great! We aren't big crab fans so i doubled the shrimp and added a little extra cream as suggested. It was easy to prepare and my family loved it!

Not my thing
This meal was easy to make but I didn't like the flavor or consistency. I wish I had seen the suggestions here to add more half and half, cheese, and butter. My husband actually enjoyed it though and he ate the leftovers.
