We love a risotto and i fancy making one with crab and maybe prawns but what veg you add in? I was thinking asparagus but not really a fan.

I love a prawn and pea risotto.

I wouldn't add much veg out of concern for competing flavours overwhelming the crab and prawn. Maybe just some gently sauteed leek or a bit of fresh tomato. Would add a bit of garlic though.

I'd probably allow the delicate flavour of the crab to dominate the risotto then serve with a side salad or a side of aspargus/green beans.

Onion, mild chillis and spinach plus lemon

A little bit on onion sauteed first and I'd add peas. Nothing with too strong a flavour.

Ooh I'm loving the leek and onions ideas, and the addition of lemon, i hadnt thought of that. Thank you all!
