Directions
Rock Shrimp, Tomato, and Leek Risotto With Basil and Meyer Lemon,This is a sort of mating of my favorite Shrimp Scampi recipe with a recipe for a Mushroom Risotto that I really like (sans mushrooms though). It should be almost soupy.,This looks slammin! Have you ever tried it with different seafood?,The details in the directions make this recipe much easier to make. And it tastes so good!
