Here on WGC we\u2019re all about balance. Between salads, brownies, pasta and everything else covering the pages of my blog – I think it\u2019s obvious that balance is key! That said\u2026I love a risotto moment! Summer Corn Risotto with Shrimp & and a cold glass of Chardonnay or two is the PERFECT way to bring a group of friends together this summer for a gorgeous al fresco meal. \ud83d\ude42 It sounds decadent but it\u2019s super do-able! Promise! <\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

Some people are intimidated by risotto – but guess what – it\u2019s totally not that hard. It just requires a tiny bit of attention, some cheese and some really delicious wine (to cook with and to enjoy with the meal!) The wine is such a big part of this risotto because it infuses the dish with all sorts of flavor – so it\u2019s really important to use a great wine that you\u2019d actually want to serve your guests! We\u2019re going with Edna Valley Vineyard Chardonnay<\/span><\/a> because its subtle layers of peach and apricot with notes of pineapple and brown spice are the perfect complement to fresh summer corn and the 2 kinds of cheese that the recipe calls for! It\u2019s next level – you won\u2019t be disappointed! <\/span><\/p>\n

Okay are you ready to dive head first! We have 3 parts of this dish – none of which should scare you! First \u2013 let\u2019s talk risotto!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

Risotto is just a special kind of rice (you can find it at just about every grocery store ever) that you cook slowly with small additions of liquid every few minutes. First the liquid comes in the form of wine, and then you can use chicken stock, or vegetable stock! Or you could even use water! Easy right? Just cook it until it\u2019s tender and then you get to mix in whatever you want. In this case it\u2019s corn, cut fresh off the cob, but you could also do saut\u00e9ed greens, roasted mushrooms, charred peas\u2026 the sky\u2019s the limit! <\/span><\/p>\n

We could stop there, but why?? More is more! Salsa Verde comes next and it\u2019s basically a spin on a pesto that just gets dolloped on top of the risotto and gives it a pop of corn and a burst of fresh herbs when you get the perfect bite!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

And last but certainly not least is some saut\u00e9ed shrimp. It\u2019s cooked in a butter and olive oil mixture to get the best of both worlds, seasoned with tons of garlic, cooked with a touch of Chardonnay and then finished with some fresh lemon juice and parsley. Ugh, I\u2019m OBSESSED.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Summer <\/span><\/p>\n

Put everything together and throw it in a bowl with a glass of wine and call it a dinner party!! <\/span><\/p>\n
