SHRIMP RISOTTO WITH BABY SPINACH AND BASIL
Based on a recipe from the Crazy for Italian article in the March 2003 issue of Bon Appetit. "This risotto has the classic creamy yet al dente texture and features a combination of Parmesan cheese and seafood. Contrary to popular belief, Italians do partner cheese with seafood in some dishes; we recommend it here without reservation." Me too!
