Sweet Corn Risotto with Old Bay Shrimp

If in that location’second a summertime comfort food, this is it. Adding corn to anything relatively summery is a given. I set it on well-nigh everything inward the summertime. And if you lot’re from Maryland, or even visited, you lot know that Old Bay seasoning is real pop here. It makes me intend of eating crabs with family unit in addition to eating alllll the steamed shrimp I possibly can. It’s SO GOOD.

I don’t know if Old Bay is something that a lot of people take had or know virtually, because I’ve been surrounded past it my whole life because of where I live. If yous haven’t tried it, you lot must. It’sec a delicious seasoning blend that tastes amazing on seafood. I can’t really describe the flavour. It but tastes similar Old Bay to me.

I know that’sec super helpful. But there’s actually no other style to depict it! I believe it has more or less celery salt, paprika, pepper, too several other spices in it. But it’second SO delicious.

The shrimp are super merely prepared. They’re tossed inwards a piddling olive crude oil together with Old Bay, as well as so sautéed in butter. Shrimp + butter = tally made inward sky.

And the risotto alongside the corn addition is AMAZING. I mean corn makes everything amend, simply amongst the creamy risotto together with parm, it’s unreal. I added parm because what’second risotto without it? And or so chopped chives too basil for a niggling freshness.

So yes, I idea that summertime comfort food was the perfect manner to depict this meal. When the nights are getting only a tad flake cooler, together with the days aren’t and so scorching hot, this is what I want to consume.

As platitude equally it sounds, I can’t go over the atmospheric condition we’ve been having the by calendar week or so. The humidity has gone WAY downwardly together with the temperature has been inward the seventies. The nights are slightly chilly and nosotros’ve been having the windows open as well as it’s merely been glorious. Late summer weather condition as well as early autumn makes me the happiest.

Tell me: do yous accept whatsoever late summer plans? I’thousand going to upstate NY this weekend to see some wineries too breweries and I’one thousand SO excited. If you’ve been, reach me your recommendations!
