Steps:
- For the shrimp: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the salt and pepper, then add to the pan in a single layer and cook until pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
- For the pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving the pasta water.
- While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the olive oil, Parmesan, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Toss the drained pasta with the lemon sauce, the shrimp and some of the reserved pasta water; add 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Add the salt, pepper and basil and toss. Garnish with the fried capers.

Steps:
- To make the pesto combine all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend until a paste is formed and set aside.
- Using a saucepot, combine the rice and the butter and mix well over medium heat. Cook it stirring until a roasted aroma develops. Add the liquid in several additions, stirring the rice frequently.

- Add the pesto to the risotto and mix well. Cook another minute.
- Saute the shrimp in olive oil until pink and tails are curled, about 3 to 5 minutes. To serve, plate the risotto in the center of the plate and top with the shrimp.
