Fresh Corn Risotto
- add review
- #116142
Fresh corn makes a world of difference in this risotto. Half of the corn is pureed and then it is all stirred into the risotto towards the end, giving it an extra creamy texture. Serve it as a side dish, or like we did, with some baked shrimp on top as an entree. As with all risotto recipes, make sure to use a good, flavorful broth or the finished dish may end up bland.

This was a very easy risotto to prepare. I especially liked that you puree half the corn and mix that in. It gave it a really nice texture and increased the fresh sweet corn flavor. I served it topped with some baked shrimp.
