Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same skillet, add olive oil if necessary, then sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted.

  4. 4

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding the chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more, about 20-25 minutes total.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Coconut Milk

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in the coconut milk and mix well.

  6. 6

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a separate pan, cook the shrimp over medium heat until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice.

  7. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the shrimp is cooked, add it to the risotto along with the corn, cherry tomatoes, and spinach. Stir gently to combine and heat through.

  8. 8

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the chopped cilantro and cooked bacon. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
