INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE SPICY SHRIMP
FOR THE RISOTTO
GARNISH
Combine the cumin, fennel, oregano, cinnamon, chile powder, coriander,
cayenne and salt in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and grind finely.
Dry rock shrimp with paper towels and toss with spice mixture to evenly
coat. Saute quickly in olive oil until just done and set aside.
In a small saucepan add 1/2 cup white wine, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup chopped
scallions, 1 teaspoon chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons
chopped parsley and the mussels. Cover and simmer until mussels open (3-4
minutes). Set aside covered and keep warm.
Add remaining scallions and garlic to a deep saucepan along with mushrooms
and saute in olive oil until lightly colored. Add orzo and continue to cook
for a minute or two. Mix remaining 1/2 cup white wine and stock together
and warm. Add 1/2 of this mixture to orzo and cook, stirring occasionally
over moderate heat until most of liquid is absorbed. Add remaining stock
mixture in 1/2 cup increments, stirring until liquid is absorbed. When orzo
is tender but not mushy, stir in peas, parmesan, basil, tomato and cooked
rock shrimp. Add a bit of stock if necessary to keep mixture loose. Serve
immediately in warm bowls topped with mussels and garnished with fried
capers and basil sprigs, if desired.
