In our daily lives, how great it would be that weekdays had more free time, as usually Saturdays or Sundays do. But then Monday arrives, and we have to start all over again with routines and obligations, which take away the enthusiasm from many people when it comes to cooking. Therefore ideas and recipes are always welcome, which besides of being delicious, they are also very practical to save us time to cook.
Today I want to share with you very tasty recipe, this Garlic Shrimp Risotto with Mushrooms is one of those dishes with which you can definitely show off. For this idea I turned to the Vive Mejor website, where I found not only this recipe but also many others, with ingredients that are easy to find and with very easy to follow directions.
I chose this recipe simply because at home we love risotto. For this I modified the original recipe a little, and I wanted to give it a twist with the sauteed mushrooms, which ended up being fabulous.
As a piece of advice, I suggest that you cook on medium heat, and that you are watching all the time to make sure the risotto doesn’t dry out. The rest is very easy to do, but with this detail you can definitely make a difference. Stir well, but carefully, so that everything gets well combined.
