Saffron is a very special ingredient, that is often found in risottos. That is because not only does it flavor it, but it also gives the risotto a beautiful color. For this recipe, we've paired saffron and rice with some fresh shrimp, and we've made an extra creamy risotto, with lots of butter and parmesan.
