Instant Pot Risotto with Shrimp and Veggies

Kristen — Tue, 14 Jan 2020 22:25:38 +0000

This low fuss Instant Pot Risotto recipe with shrimp and veggies is one of those meals that tastes like you’ve slaved over the stove all day, but it can actually be on your table in no time at all!

I go through phases with my Instant Pot. Sometimes I love it and use it all the time. Other times it will go back into my pantry and I’ll forget about it for months. When it’s hot, it’s hot and when it’s not, it’s not. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who has this kind of relationship with their pressure cooker. Any small appliance, really. Out of sight, out of mind!

Well, today I have a recipe for Instant Pot Risotto with Shrimp and Veggies that is well worth bringing your instant pot out of hiding for. I promise! If you love risotto, but don’t love having to babysit it on the stovetop for a long time, this recipe is for you!…

Lemon Shrimp Spaghetti Toss Recipe

Gorton’s Seafood Simply Baked Shrimp in this Lemon Shrimp Spaghetti Toss recipe makes for a delicious and simple dinner.

I mentioned earlier how much our life has changed lately now that our kids are older. One thing that having teens in the house has afforded Nick and I is more frequent date nights. As much as we love going out on the town for a night out, often times our date night preference is to cook a nice meal in and hanging out at home. We both love to cook, and home is our favorite place, so date nights in tend to be our norm. …

Pesto Shrimp Avocado Salad Recipe

The perfect green dish – Pesto Shrimp California Avocado Salad – healthy and oh so good!

Have you all heard of “Dinner en Blanc”? I hadn’t either, but it’s a pretty cool thing where a bunch of guests dressed in white meet for a secret dinner, in an all white decorated location. You can read about this coveted dinner on the Forbes Magazine website. I can guarantee you I will never be a recipient of a “Dinner en Blanc” invitation because me eating while wearing all white and surrounded in all white sounds a bit like a nightmare for this klutz. I’d be the first to spill and stain everything around me.

My friends at California Avocados decided it’d be fun to take an avocado inspired spin on the whole “Dinner en Blanc” idea with “Dinner en Green”. Do you see where they are going with this? Dinner, with green accessories and green food. Green, just like the beautiful California Avocado. …

Spicy Habanero Grilled Pineapple Shrimp Recipe

Grilled Pineapple Shrimp gets a spicy kick from the new KC Masterpiece® BBQ Sauce Mix and Dry Rubs.

I’ve had a bit of an awakening lately when it comes to food and that is, the simpler the recipe, the better. Gone are the days where I have time to follow a recipe with 20 ingredients and an hour + to prepare. Instead, I’ve been craving the simplicity of easy recipes with few steps and ingredients. Nutritious, delicious and simple…that’s what fits our full lives these days. …

Meatless Made Easy: White Bean Shrimp Chili Recipe

Kristen — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 18:32:56 +0000

With the Lenten season upon us, it’s the perfect time to swap out meat for shrimp in your chili! Give this White Bean Shrimp Chili Recipe featuring Bush’s White Chili Beans a try!

For those of you who participate in the Lenten season, you know that the sacrifice of meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday during Lent is upon us.

It always cracks me up when people refer to giving up meat as a sacrifice. Maybe back in the days of Jesus, fish and seafood tasted horrible, so it was a sacrifice. But now? Now with all the different varieties of seafood available, the plethora of seafood recipes to follow, the spices to enhance, etc. meatless is not a big deal. Plus, even when you can’t have meat, you can always have beans! Now ask me to give up beans and that would be considered an absolute sacrifice. …

Weight Watchers Zucchini and Shrimp Sauté

Kristen — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 04:47:31 +0000

A relaxed Weight Watchers recipe of Zucchini and Shrimp with Cherry Tomatoes goes perfectly with our laid back summer routine!

We are almost three weeks into our summer and we have probably had our best one yet. I was worried about not doing our Summer Bucket Lists this year because I know how much fun we have had the past three years checking things off, one by one. There is, however, a certain kind of freedom to not having a “list” hanging over my head to get done. Instead, our summer so far has been full of fun and spontaneity. It’s been full of me saying “yes” a whole heck of a lot and us deciding that day what we’re going to do. It’s been amazing and I’m loving it! (Hopefully you are following Dine & Dish on Instagram and seeing all of our fun shenanigans.)

I’m taking the same attitude with Dine & Dish this summer… not that I’ve ever had a real strict schedule or expectations for myself, but things around here are going to be more relaxed than normal. For the most part I’ve decided to take the work part of summer off. I, of course, have my favorite long term clients I’ll continue working with, but I’ve said no to taking on anything new and will just be posting what moves me, when it moves me. I am so excited to have this summer be one where I get back to my roots here on Dine & Dish and fall in love with doing this blog thing just for the pure joy of it… not because I have work obligations to fulfill. …

Some Like It Hot {Spicy Shrimp and Avocado Salad}

Kristen — Fri, 20 Jun 2014 21:03:06 +0000

A spicy salad featuring Sriracha Shrimp and Fresh California Avocados.

I used to be of the belief that salad toppings, at least for a cold lettuce salad, need to be cold. I really didn’t like the combination of hot toppings and cold salad. I don’t know why, except that maybe those beliefs stemmed from fast food salads, not ones I would actually make at home.

Once I discovered the amazingness of a hot/cold combo salad, I could hardly return to my former beliefs. I love the contrast of hot ingredients on top of a bed of crispy, cold ingredients. It makes my mouth happy!…
