Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, break up until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes.

  • If using Italian sausage, remove from casing, if necessary. Break up sausage until no pink remains and sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Zest and halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Stem poblano peppers, seed, and cut into 1/4" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Pat shrimp dry and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    Place a large pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shrimp to hot pot and cook until pink and shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Transfer shrimp to a plate.

    Keep pot over medium heat; no need to wipe clean.

  3. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add 2 tsp. olive oil, corn, poblano (to taste), fiesta seasoning, and 2 tsp. lime zest (to taste) to hot pot.

    Stir occasionally until vegetables are slightly tender, 4-6 minutes

  4. 4

    Add the Rice

    Add rice to hot pot. Stir occasionally until rice is toasted and opaque, 1-2 minutes.

    Add 2 cups water, mirepoix base, and garlic salt. Rice should just be covered by water.

    Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed. Add 1/2 cup boiling water and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.

    Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Stir in shrimp, butter (to taste), 2 tsp. lime juice, and half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish) until melted and combined, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping risotto with remaining cheese. Squeeze lime wedges over to taste. Bon appètit!
