This week’s cooking assignment for IHCC is surf and/or turf, I chose to surf it with this shrimp risotto from Curtis Stone’s Good Food, Good Life cookbook. I chose this recipe because it has some of my favorite ingredients; shrimp and arugula.
This is more than a 30 minute recipe but well worth the effort. We have not made risotto before so a new technique and a new recipe. My husband and I loved it and would make it again. We decided not to make the lemon cream that goes on top as the dish seemed rich enough without. Highly recommend this recipe.


The addition of arugula is inspired. It's such a great way to lighten up a rich dish. Another Curtis recipe bookmarked!

I love that combination of flavors. Was the arugula added at the very end? It sounds delicious.

There is always certain charm with a well made risotto. I think about making risotto more than I actually make them. One of my favorite dishes! Great selection.
