Remove the pan from the oven and stir in ½ cup chicken broth, 3 tablespoons cubed butter, Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Stir vigorously until the the butter and cheese are melted (this releases the starch and makes it creamier).
Stir in desired amount of heavy cream and the fresh basil. Stir in additional heavy cream or chicken broth if desired for an even creamier/saucier risotto.
Top with shrimp or stir the shrimp directly into the risotto. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste (I add both).
