Teriyaki Shrimp w/Risotto

I just happened to decide to cook today. There aren't any pictures, and I apologize for that. I literally had no intention of blogging this recipe. It wasn't a recipe until now, as I just combined foods that I had available. Before my husband went to work, he said 'Did you blog this...you need to blog this. You're not bloggin' right!'

So, here goes.

Ingredients:
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1/3 cup arborio rice
olive oil
1 tbspn soy sauce
1/2 cup teriyaki marinade
1/2 pound of shrimp (peeled and cleaned)
4 strips of bacon
1/4 tspn of brown sugar
1/4 tspn of black pepper
a pinch of salt

Directions:

1. marinate shrimp in brown sugar, soy and teriyaki marinade
2. add arborio rice to a pot of boiling water*
3. dice both red and green peppers
4. pour about 1 tbspn of olive oil into heated skillet (med-high heat)
5. add peppers
6. fry bacon until almost crisp and firm. Cut/dice bacon
7. *continue to add 1 cup of water to rice as it will constantly become absorbed and swell
8. combine bacon, peppers, and 1 tbspn of bacon fat
9. after two minutes, remove peppers and bacon from skillet
10. pour shrimp and marinade into heated skillet and continuously stir until shrimp has curled and become pink
11. add peppers and bacon to shrimp mix and continue to stir (add black pepper and salt if needed)
12. add any alcohol (beer or wine) to both rice and shrimp and veggies at this point
13. When rice is thick and non-sticky, ladle into bowl. Then add shrimp and veggies atop rice.

**Note**

To all that have never cooked with wine or beer, the alcohol will burn off. The amount of alcohol left in the food depends on the time that it is added. The later you add it, the more that is left.
