Lobster Risotto

Creamy risotto filled with chunks of freshly steamed lobster, oh it’s so luscious!  This is the perfect dish for a romantic night in or Valentine’s Day dinner!  It’s pretty easy, and simple to make and perfect for date night!

When my husband found out I was making Lobster and Lamb for Valentine’s, I can safely say he was beyond excited.  Surf and Turf can never go wrong!

For the risotto, as long as you have a little patience, it’s actually very easy.  The creamy texture with added asparagus spears, peas, and garnished with some fresh chives is absolutely divine!

Stay tuned for the lamb recipe for the turf portion of this delicious V-Day meal! In the meantime, I really hope you enjoy this luscious Lobster Risotto!

Shrimp Ceviche

The husband is a big fan of seafood so I decided to surprise him with some shrimp ceviche today.  With a few changes on the classic recipe, here’s my version of shrimp ceviche.

Shrimp Ceviche

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh, raw shrimp
1 c lemon juice
1 large cucumber, deseeded, peeled and finely chopped
2 roma tomatoes, deseeded, finely chopped
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1-2 serrano peppers, finely chopped (how many you use depends on your spice level)
Salt to taste

Directions:

In a large bowl, pour 1/2 c lemon juice over shrimp and let rest for at least 15-20 minutes.

In another bowl, combine cucumber, onion, tomatoes, peppers, parsley and 1/2 c lemon juice and mix well.  Add veggie mix to shrimp then salt to taste.  Mix well.  Cover and let marinate in fridge for at least 1 hour so the flavors really sink in.  Serve with chips and Enjoy!
