Shrimp & Asparagus Risotto from Olive Garden - $14.75

1279 New Churchman's Road, Christiana, DE - (302)731-5430


The Oliver Garden site's description of this dish is "Large sautéed shrimp served over creamy parmesan risotto with asparagus." That pretty much sums it up.

Personally, I think this is too pricey for what it is. It tasted okay, but I'd rather pay a lot less and make Uncle Ben's Rice instead. The shrimp and asparagus are both good, but not good enough to pay that much for cheesy rice.

The dish also comes with a soup or salad (I chose the minestrone soup) and breadsticks. The minestrone soup had too much bean for my tastes. The breadsticks are awesome, but you only get two when you get the order to go, whereas it's unlimited when you dine in.

Looks pretty damn good. Why do you always order take-away and never eat at the shop? Apart from the fact that it's pretty loser-ish to eat alone all the time....

shrimp...looks very tasty. in japan, when they say shrimp something, usually they put some tiny shrimps. but over here, they put kind of big shrimp and not only 2 or 3. that's what I like =D
