Butternut Squash Risotto with Langostino

I normally don't post recipe variations, but this one was particularly yummy, so I thought I'd throw it out there. 


Here's the base recipe. Then: 

Remove the mushrooms and the thyme.


Substitute champagne for white wine and vegetable stock for chicken stock.


Add 1 1/2 cups butternut squash and 1 1/2 cups langostino (pre-cooked). I also meant to grate some fresh nutmeg over the whole thing once it was done, but I forgot. You might try it though.

Langostino? Yum!

Oh man, this sounds great! Langostino's were a special treat when I was kid and I've just found them at the store again recently after not seeing them for years.... I'm going to have to try this. I'm skittish about leftover seafood - do you think it would be ok the next day?

We ate the leftovers the next day for lunch and were fine. Come to think of it, I think I even gave Kevin the remaining langostino the following day for lunch. I think it's usually 24-36 hours for leftover seafood.
