I prefer a slightly runny risotto, i.e. where it will spread out slightly after you place it on a plate or in a shallow bowl, so that's what this recipe will give you. If you prefer tight or runny risotto, adjust liquid as needed.

This is a favorite appetizer recipe of mine (and my husband and kids), and something I have made many, many times. The combination of delicious fresh shrimp surrounded by a creamy mixture of cheese and spices stuffed into a spicy jalapeño and then wrapped in bacon? What's not to love? When I...
A pleasantly tasty dish. You can use any type of pepper – you will need to adjust the amount of stuffing depending on the size of pepper you plan to stuff. Cubanos aren’t large. So, for larger peppers, double or even triple the stuffing portion of this recipe. Or – hey – extra stuffing can...
The pork or prawn elements would stand alone as dishes but they are much more fun together. This is super easy to cook using the ‘en papillote’ method. If you can’t obtain achiote paste you could make your own from scratch.
Ingredients (serves 2)
For the pork:
20g achiote paste
Juice of one...
It tastes just like a Loaded Baked Potato.

A goodly pinch of Cayenne when I did a last taste for seasoning.
For service, freshly ground Black Pepper and Scallions.

This is a very quick recipe, minimal prep and fast cooking, but a big flavor punch.
It can be made ovo/lacto vegetarian by eliminating the shrimp and adding an extra egg or 2.
The lower spicy ingredient amounts are comfortable for me to eat. The higher amounts are just below my tolerance but...
Earlier this year G purchased fresh, Gulf shrimp off the boat. I removed the heads, washed well, drained and vacuum sealed in 1 lb., shell-on packs. I had one pack left in the freezer. After removing the shell and veins I had a yield of 11 oz.
Frozen shrimp is great. Make sure the package is...
