Grilled Shrimp

BLT Risotto

Tomato Basil Glaze

Method

Grilled Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

BLT Risotto

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

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

  2. 4

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent.

  3. 5

    Cook Risotto

    Add Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add chicken broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently. Continue until rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in diced tomatoes, chopped basil, cooked bacon, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Tomato Basil Glaze

  1. 7

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, chopped basil, olive oil, and honey. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
