Cooking Steps

1
  • Heat large pot over medium-high heat. 
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then onions. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  • Add rice, garlic salt and half the Enchilada Spice Blend. Cook for 2 min, stirring often, until rice is toasted.
  • Add tomato sauce base, 1 3/4 cups (3 1/2 cups) water and corn.
2
  • Once simmering, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. (NOTE: The risotto should maintain a very gentle simmer; adjust the heat as needed).
  • Cook for 16-20 min, removing the lid to stir occasionally, until almost all of the water has been absorbed.
3
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop cilantro.
  • Core, then thinly slice hot green pepper, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping hot green peppers!)
  • Zest and juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • Drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with remaining Enchilada Spice Blend, salt and pepper.
4
  • Stir 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, lime zest, lime juice, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) of the hot pepper and half the cilantro into the cooked rice. Let stand, off heat, for 5 min. Season with salt and pepper.
5
  • Meanwhile, in a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium-high. When the pan is hot, add shrimp.
  • Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink. **
6
  • In a small bowl, combine chipotle sauce with 2 tsp (4 tsp) water.
  • Divide risotto between bowls.
  • Top with shrimp.
  • Drizzle with chipotle sauce.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if you like.
