Risotto Duo ... Lemon Shrimp Risotto and Fresh Corn Risotto/Arancini

[a_boleyn]

My brother did a grocery drop off ... ok, it was beer, a grapefruit cooler and corn on the cob, but it still counts as groceries in my book. I am attempting to think of creative things to do with my goodies.

First, the fresh corn.

Risotto is usually a side dish like pasta but, like pasta, you can make it an entree by adding a protein.

Your basil is gorgeous! Mine is nearly past tense now. it's not been a kind year for the herbs.

Had to skip your other photos (a bit under the weather at the moment). I'm sure they were as yummy as always, but my tummy isn't very happy with me at the moment.

*hugs*

I hope you feel better soon and the pics will be there waiting. :)

I'm not doing justice those basil plants. I wish I had a real garden to plant it all in. And that it wasn't so miserably hot.

As usual, it all looks yummy!

Thank you.

Mmmmm risotto! I have a mushroom risotto that's in regular rotation in our menu list; this definitely looks worth trying.

Other things to do with corn: corn, bacon and parmesan pasta.

And with all that basil, I foresee pesto in your future!

The first risotto I ever made was a 3 mushroom one. Very tasty. Thank you for the link.

I want you to make pesto with all that basil :)

I have in the past ... and should have this time as well.
