Step 1
Bring 6 cups broth to simmer in medium saucepan.
Step 2
In separate pan, sauté shrimp in 1 tablespoon butter with garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan when just opaque and hold aside. (Alternatively, poach in the simmering broth just until opaque and remove.)
Step 3
Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add rice and stir about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook until wine is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Continue to cook, adding 1 cup hot broth at a time (stir until almost all liquid is absorbed before adding more) until rice is almost al dente, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 6
While cooking and stirring rice, blanch asparagus, set aside.
Step 7
Add zucchini to oiled skillet on medium heat until slightly tender.
Step 8
Once rice is al dente, add zucchini, tomatoes, and spinach to risotto; cook stirring until zucchini is tender, 3-4 minutes. Add reserved asparagus and shrimp and cook an additional minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Step 9
Stir in remaining tablespoon butter and parmesan cheese. Risotto should be creamy and slightly runny on the plate. If not, add a bit of additional warm broth.
