Recipe Review
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Lemon
Basil Shrimp Risotto
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman blog
I figured out that there are
242 calories per serving, if 8 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary
depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)

| You can clearly see the chopped shrimp, risotto and the dark green basil leaves. |

| Don't you agree that it would be better with a lot more shrimp? |
This is one of the most
refreshing dinners I have had this summer. I don’t think I have ever had
risotto before and I am definitely a convert.
I
only had one pound of shrimp and the recipe called for 1.5 pounds. Next time, I
will put in two entire pounds. I love shrimp and since it is lower in calories,
it will be a great addition to my menus.
The
lemon and basil add so much to the dish. Of course, you probably noticed that
there is a little heavy cream – but it wouldn’t be a Ree masterpiece without
it. I just love her recipes. I wish I knew how to actually contact her.

This
one was in my recipe box with no name on it. I love the idea of eating a giant piece of this but I am sure it has boo coo calories so it is best to just read it and dream.
