I didn't know about Tucci's recipe but I have done that with the shells and didn't think it was worth it. But I now only buy peeled and deveined shrimp. I actually think risotto is pretty easy. I usually do add shrimp or scallops. After that, it is like garbage can risotto with whatever i have...artichoke hearts, asparagus, roasted jarred peppers, sun dried tomato, frozen peas, etc.
