Lemon Basil Shrimp Risotto
I wanted to share another one of the recipes I made with some of the roughly five trillion pounds of leftover gigantic shrimp from our Fourth of July party. And I shouldn't even be calling it leftover shrimp. That would imply that I actually used some of the shrimp at our Fourth of July party, and that some of the shrimp was left over. But in fact, I didn't use any of it at our Fourth of July party. I didn't use any of it, because I have my limits when it comes to being able to cognitively multi-task and I completely forgot about it. And I didn't even realize I had forgotten about it until well after the party, when I opened my fridge to try to figure out what to have for breakfast and was greeted by roughly five trillion pounds of shrimp instead.
So I guess I should be calling it neglected shrimp. Not leftover shrimp.
And no matter what it's called, I just knew that if I didn't figure out some ways to use it up tout de suite, I would soon have a malodorous fridge. So along with this Coconut Curry Shrimp, which seriously made my skirt fly up, I also made a batch of this bright and lovely risotto, whose leftovers I ate all throughout last week. There I go using the "leftover" word again. Except in this case, it's accurate.
I'm so glad we had this talk.
Melt a little butter in a skillet…
Then throw in a nice layer of peeled, deveined shrimp! Doesn't matter what size you use; this is U10 (under 10 shrimp per pound) and they result in big chunks of shrimp after chopping, but you can use any size of shrimp your heart desires. You can even use tiny ones and leave 'em whole at the end! Or you can use huge ones and chop 'em up at the end. Or you can use medium ones and be riddled with confusion about whether to chop 'em or leave 'em whole at the end.
The world is your oyster.
Oyster? This is getting really confusing.
Turn the shrimp over halfway through and cook it until it's opaque, about 3 minutes total.
Then throw 'em onto a plate for a bit.
And throw 'em both into the same skillet you used to cook the shrimp. Stir and cook the onion and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
Then pour in some Arborio rice…
And stir/cook it around for a couple of minutes. And whatever you do, don't walk away from the skillet and forget about it like a certain 40-something redhead in rural Oklahoma did. It's best if the rice doesn't get brown like this.
But actually, it turned out fine.
So basically, don't listen to anything I say and you'll be good to go.
Now, when I make risotto, I like to start by adding a nice amount of white wine! It makes the finished risotto extra delicious, and…well, it's wine. You don't always have to have a good reason for it.
Then you just have to be patient for a few minutes, giving it a gentle stir or two…
Until the wine is pretty much all absorbed.
Now it's time for the broth! Just add it in 1/2 to 1 cup increments, stirring and letting it absorb before the next addition. I used this vegetable broth, which I love because it has a nice deep yellow/orange tint to it…but any broth—vegetable, chicken, or even seafood—will do.
Note: Normally, normal people who normally want to take the normal route will heat up the broth in a saucepan before adding it. But I didn't want to work that hard.
Then add some more! Just continue this process until you've added about 4 to 5 cups of broth…more if it needs it.
And along the way, squeeze in some lemon juice and add some salt and pepper.
Eventually, it will look like this. Gorgeous!
Now, note that if you use a different brand of vegetable broth, or if you use chicken broth, the color of the risotto will be lighter. In that case, if you'd like the risotto to have a nice golden tinge, sprinkle in a really small amount of turmeric!
At the very end, when the rice is perfect and tender but still has a little bite to it, add some lemon zest. Gives it a little extra zip.
And now, what you are about to see may shock you. Risotto is inherently creamy and normally doesn't require cream. But of course, I'd never let that stop me. Just add in a tablespoon or two! It won't do ya no harm, man.
And throw both in with the luscious, creamy, dreamy, lemony risotto!
What a lovely sight.
Then just fold it all together…
Oh, and I forgot: Sprinkle on some more lemon zest…
(Oh, and grated Parmesan is delicious, too. But I forgot to take a photo of that part. Something about slurping down this yumminess made me a little distracted.)
Enjoy this, friends! It's a bowlful of bliss.
Here's the handy dandy printable.

Lemon Basil Shrimp Risotto
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Difficulty:
- Easy
- Servings:
- 12
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1-1/2 pound Shrimp (I Used U10 Size; Huge!)
- 1 whole Onion, Finely Diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 2 cups Arborio Rice
- 1 cup Dry White Wine
- 5 cups Vegetable Broth, Heated (give Or Take)
- 1 whole Lemon, Zest And Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
- 18 whole Basil Leaves, Chopped Plus Extra For Serving
- Grated Parmesan Cheese For Sprinkling
Preparation Instructions
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook both sides until opaque in the middle, about 3 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and chop roughly. Set aside.
Return the skillet to the stovetop (do not wash it) and add the onion and garlic. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until onion starts to turn translucent. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add dry Arborio rice to the pan and stir it around for a couple of minutes, taking care not to burn it. Pour in wine and stir gently, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid. After the wine is absorbed, begin adding warm broth 1/2 cup to 1 cup at a time, allowing the rice to cook and absorb the liquid each time. Stir occasionally as you go, and add the salt and pepper during one of the broth additions. After 4 cups of broth have been absorbed, taste the rice. It should have a slight bite, but if it seems undercooked, add additional broth and cook it until it absorbs until the risotto is the perfect doneness.
Zest and juice the lemon and add both the zest and the juice to the risotto toward the end of cooking. Stir in the heavy cream, the basil, and serve immediately with extra lemon zest and Parmesan cheese on top.

This looks fabulous! Perfect for summer, filling but light.

This is what is always important for me: that a recipe is filling but light Thank you!

It looks like slop. Accurate risotto preparation instructions not provided.

Marla On Thursday, August 28 at 9:26 am
Nikki, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but keep your negative comments to yourself. I for one, think this looks fantastic.
Jane K. On Monday, September 1 at 1:36 am
I agree with Marla and Susan. Nicki, you must have a lot of anger in your life if you feel as if you have to come on here and be hateful. And even if you're not thrilled with this recipe, you didn't have to say "it looks like slop." You could have worded it differently. I'd like to see YOUR award-winning food blog and YOUR nationally syndicated TV show. Please do a self-reflection of yourself and grow up.
lisa On Sunday, September 7 at 5:26 am
Nicki, please go be negative and rude somewhere else. We do not need your salty attitude bringing down this happy blog and the wonderful recipe Ree has provided us.
Rebekah S On Monday, July 14 at 4:54 am
This looks delicious! The Coconut Curry Shrimp is on my grocery list this week!
Janie Lynn @ My Over-all Apron On Tuesday, July 15 at 10:32 am
We're getting groceries today, too I just love shrimp, but my dad hates it. With all of these shrimp recipes you've been posting, Ree, I think I just might sneak some shrimp in a meal. I'll post that cooking experience on my blog! Check it out!
From your whole foody!

I just love risotto but usually consider it a dinner "out" menu item. You make this look easy and I just love shrimp. I think I may have shared that with you all before. Anyway, sorry I wasn't around to take some of that shrimp off your hands, Ree. Happy Monday, one and all, and hugs, of course.
Lu On Monday, July 14 at 5:26 am
Lemon basil… mmm, I taste summer
Deb R On Monday, July 14 at 5:50 am
This looks and sounds delicious – thanks for sharing! Ha Ha – Brown rice is healthier, that's always my excuse! Happy Monday!
janet On Monday, July 14 at 5:56 am
Can you do risotto with brown rice? Does the starch still work the same way?
Tom @ Raise Your Garden On Monday, July 14 at 6:04 am
This looks like such filling man food. Nice you had some leftover shrimp. LOVE shrimp. So expensive. Looks pretty easy to do so I don't have to ask my wife to assemble this for me.
Like that basil on top, grew some at school (I' a teacher).
Phyllis On Monday, July 14 at 6:17 am
Looks beautiful… I may just have to try this!
Melanie @ Carmel Moments On Monday, July 14 at 6:21 am
Amazing in every way! Sounds like this needs to be added to the menu soon. I love risotto but haven't made in quite awhile. Love the fresh basil on dishes like this.
Sara from OH On Monday, July 14 at 6:21 am
Call me crazy, but I like the slight browning that results when I walk away from the rice. This is the perfect summer supper. Thanks Ree!
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh On Monday, July 14 at 6:43 am
Drool worthy for sure! YUM!
Bonnie M On Monday, July 14 at 6:57 am
You had me at lemon. had me even more at basil. Then I spotted the words shrimp & risotto………Oh. My. Heavens. I am speechless!!
Okay, speech has been recovered…….I just wanted to let you know that I made your absolutely, positively delicious oven grilled chicken for Sunday dinner!! I thank you, and my Sweetheart Dan thanks you 10 fold!! It was so, so, good!! I really miss having a grill, but this recipe was so outstanding and tasty that I thought….grill? what grill?! This is a make over & over & over & well, you know, over…… recipe!! I am so happy that you share your recipes with us Ree! Everyone of yours come out perfectly and are ultra yummy!! The only thing missing is the Lodge and that stunning view from the deck!!
I hope that your Monday is a very lovely one! I also hope that you do not experience a James Bond Martini kind of day – don't wish for any of you to be 'shaken', not stirred!! GMA stated that Oklahoma has experienced 7 minor earthquakes this morning.
Take Care, God Bless.
Matea On Monday, July 14 at 7:10 am
Being a shrimp-lover, this recipe is right up my alley! At the moment I don't have any shrimp in my fridge, though; maybe I could stop by and take some off your hands?
Terry from Georgia On Thursday, July 17 at 9:13 pm
Hey Matea! Please pick me up on your way to get the shrimp. I could use a few gazillion shrimpies at my house.
Anna C in CT On Monday, July 14 at 7:27 am
Looks Good….This will be on my table by Friday. Lemon and Basil ( my favorites ). Last night I made your Olive (cheesy) bread and my husband loved it. Thanx
Gran of 17 On Monday, July 14 at 7:53 am
YOU FORGOT THE SHRIMP!! Oh well, the good news is, you can have them all to yourself. Let's see…Shrimp Omelets, or Shrimp Frittata for breakfast. Shrimp Salad in toasted hot dog rolls (just as good as Lobster Rolls but much cheaper to make) for Lunch, and this Risotto for supper. Works for me!
Angela from Maryland On Monday, July 14 at 3:51 pm
Sounds like Bubba telling Forest Gump the many ways to use shrimp.
Gran of 17 On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:46 am
Angela, you're right it does. Don'tcha just love that movie?
Allyn On Monday, July 14 at 8:06 am
This looks so delicious! Maybe it will go on next week's meal plan (http://girlnamedallyn.wordpress.com/2014/07/14/meal-plan-july-13-july-19/), because I'm the dork who meal plans like crazy
Anna On Monday, July 14 at 9:25 am
Allyn, I took a look at your site – I commend you on being able to think that far ahead! I bet you save a ton of $ that way too (especially in NYC). Heck, it's 8am and I don't even know what we're having for dinner tonight – let alone the rest of the week!!! Good for you.
Chris On Monday, July 14 at 8:33 am
Looks yummy I think I'll try it this week seems like a nice switch from my usual salmon. Ree, serving 12? No wonder you ate it all week long LOL. I'll need to cut back on the recipe.
Angela from Maryland On Monday, July 14 at 8:42 am
Basil and lemon are a great pair. I have a ton of basil in my garden this year, lovely herb it is. I wonder if I can use saffron instead of tumeric. Thanks for sharing all of your good cooking.
susan h On Monday, July 14 at 8:49 am
looks yummy!!!!!! Ree it would be wonderful if you could do a spot on either your Food Network or here on Herbs!! I grow a lot but only know limited uses for them!!
susan h On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:33 am
OMG!! That is awesome!!!! Thank you Ree!!!! I DVR all of your episodes even re-runs incase I have missed one!!!!!
Pat E On Monday, July 14 at 9:05 am
How could anyone forget shrimp??? Shrimp is a food group as far as I am concerned!! I could handle shrimp as an entree, with a side of shrimp, with more shrimp for dessert!!! This risotto looks so yummy! I have basil in a container on the deck that needs to be used. Saturday supper menu is planned!
Colleen @ Royal Icing Diaries On Monday, July 14 at 9:16 am
Anything with shrimp in it catches my eye and this just looks amazing! I've always been somewhat terrified of making risotto because I've heard horror stories about having to stand and stir continuously for fear of ruining it if I don't. You had me when I saw "stir occasionally"! LOL…… And, Ree, as always, you make me laugh. Love your story about forgetting the shrimp!
Steph On Monday, July 14 at 9:27 am
That looks scrumptious. I am going to have to try this sometime this week. I just need to get the rice. Your guests' loss is certainly our gain!!
Tiffany P On Monday, July 14 at 9:29 am
Shrimp are the best-so versatile fried grilled -baked. Favorite are grilled with a pesto sauce. Thanks for sharing Ree.
Auntiepatch On Monday, July 14 at 10:00 am
Until the rice is absorbed… Is that possible??? LOL!
Anne P. On Monday, July 14 at 10:10 am
That dish looks so luscious! The flavor must be outstanding…worth the patience it takes to stand at the stove for a little while, adding and stirring! Can you freeze risotto?
Abby On Monday, July 14 at 10:42 am
Wow, this looks so great. i am not a huge fan of shrimp – do you think you could sub chicken or crab?
Stephanie On Monday, July 14 at 11:04 am
Okay, you've convinced me. I am done heating up my broth for risotto. It doesn't seem to make a difference.
Toby On Monday, July 14 at 11:06 am
I made the "shrimp" curry yesterday and substituted chicken tenderloins cubed and browned in oil/butter for the shrimp. I didn't have any leftover, neglected shrimp. It's a keeper. Delicious , quick and easy. Hubby loved it. Thanks Ree.
Cindy H On Monday, July 14 at 11:26 am
Ree, I like pretty much everything you make (a lot!), but this risotto . . . oh this. I want to leave the office right now, in the middle of the day, so I can go home and make it immediately.
KimW On Monday, July 14 at 11:49 am
What can be substituted for wine? We don't keep alcohol in our home.
Wendy On Monday, July 14 at 11:57 am
YAY! A gluten free recipe I can make!
PatMac On Tuesday, July 15 at 7:19 am
This looks amazing!! I have been looking for an easy summer dinner recipe for company. I'll look no more. This looks perfect. Thanks…….
Doris H On Monday, July 14 at 12:02 pm
This looks like the perfect dinner. Quick and easy, but it looks like it took forever to make. I like using shrimp during the week – it seems extra special, but it cooks so quickly!
Marla On Monday, July 14 at 6:04 pm
You're right, Doris! This looks like a perfect dish for company!
Carrie Anne Mitchell On Monday, July 14 at 12:05 pm
Ree, Your cooking show and family is a hit here at M & W Farms!! My parents, and grandmother and I never miss it! Your recipes are fun, delucioys, and satisfying to every pallet here! I'm still learning to cook at age 44, and will soon be on my own cooking for one. Any ideas on how I could make healthy liw carb and low fat versions of many of your recipes? I'm over 200 lbs, borderline diabetic, and want to be a healthy grandma and new dating girl on the scene by eating healthier and losing weight? Thanks, Carrie
Jenny @ The Peachy Pair On Monday, July 14 at 12:15 pm
I heart risotto, so this looks amazing!
Jill R On Monday, July 14 at 12:59 pm
Yummo!! Had something similar to this less than 3 weeks ago in Sorrento, Italy and thought how wonderful it would be to make at home. Thanks Ree!!
Kendall Clark Marx On Monday, July 14 at 1:03 pm
Ree, I love reading your blogs/recipies.. you make me laugh each time..
Angela On Monday, July 14 at 1:21 pm
I bet that you could add just about any forgotten protein and it would taste great. I found 8 ears of corn (I forgot to cook over the 4th's weekend) stashed away in the back of my frig. Good thing we don't do that with children!
Alicia On Tuesday, July 15 at 1:53 pm
Love sweet corn risotto. Boil the whole cobs, let cool slightly then slice the corn off the cob. Save the water you boiled the corn in. Follow Ree's recipe, but substitute half of the broth with the corn cooking water. Add the corn niblets along with the shrimp. It's AH-maxing!
Wendy Lawson On Monday, July 14 at 1:24 pm
I am very excited for the recipes involving fresh herbs. I too have an herb garden, but my uses are limited to recipes that use herbs ONLY as a compliment. I am not innovative when it comes to creating my own recipes, so I look forward to yours.:D
Mona On Monday, July 14 at 1:24 pm
This looks like a great recipe. I hate the stirring part of making risotto. I wonder if you could bake the risotto in an oven safe pot/pan and then add the shrimp, lemon etc. after?Either way I'm definitely going to try making this.
dfur On Monday, July 14 at 2:16 pm
Yes, page 160 of Barefoot Contessa, "How Easy Is That?" risotto made in the oven using a Dutch oven.
Brenda Wall On Monday, July 14 at 4:27 pm
Help! My dear husband does not alcohol of any kind in his food (well he really doesn't like alcohol period, which can be a good thing). I know it cooks out, but he claims to still taste it if it is used in food. What can I do with this recipe if I can't use the white wine?
Oh he adored your recipe for BBQ Chicken Thighs. I made him a batch before I left him home to go to Florida with my daughter and family.
Gran of 17 On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:52 am
Ree replied to comment #29, saying that it will be just a good with just the broth. I would say, just use the same amount as is called for in the wine, 1 cup. All will be well. Personally, I don't care for the taste of wine in my food either.
Goosefeathers On Monday, July 14 at 4:30 pm
Well, I'm watching The PW on Food Network and checking my emails I saw this post came in today. It's like Surround-Ree ! I love it !
Francesca D. On Monday, July 14 at 5:14 pm
Oh my… this looks delish… what other meal pairings can you do with this? Or is this the main meal?
Lesa H On Monday, July 14 at 5:24 pm
I just made this for supper along with fresh green beans from the garden. Very good!!
Marla On Monday, July 14 at 6:03 pm
I'm adding this to the list of my favorite recipes from you, Ree! This looks scrumptious! And what a creative way to use up leftover shrimp! I think we've all been there, where we forget about something and then voila, it's in the fridge the next time you open it!
PatJ On Monday, July 14 at 6:30 pm
Looks so good! Another shrimp dish for the rotation!
Katherine On Monday, July 14 at 6:49 pm
I made this for dinner tonight. I was DELICIOUS! Making again….next time we will have dinner guests to enjoy it with us….
Carol M On Monday, July 14 at 7:15 pm
Ree..I am so glad you made this risotto. I have always shied away from making it because it always looked so difficult. You make it looks so easy. Risotto rice is going on my shopping list and vegetable broth. Thank You.
Jen On Monday, July 14 at 8:44 pm
Looks delicious! My mother-in-law and I will be making this later in the week for sure!
Jess On Monday, July 14 at 9:00 pm
That is not risotto, not even close. What a waste of arborio rice. The whole point of risotto is to bring out creaminess of the rice by drawing out the starches by gradually adding warm broth. My Nona is turning in her grave.
Lesa H On Tuesday, July 15 at 10:41 am
Jess.. I must disagree with you. My dish turned out so very creamy that I didn't even add the extra cream at the end of the cooking process. I put Arborio rice on my shopping list so I can make this wonderful recipe again.
Cheryl S On Monday, July 14 at 10:48 pm
This looks so delicious I think I am going to try it.
Lois Holz On Monday, July 14 at 11:49 pm
This blog (recipe?) Is so fun to read. First of all that you were so caught up with throwing the wonderful 4th party that the shrimp stayed in the fridge! I'll read t hi is again sometime. Might actually make the shrimp!
Elena On Tuesday, July 15 at 5:22 am
Kandyce On Tuesday, July 15 at 10:33 am
This looks like a winner! Making a shopping list now.
Ayu On Tuesday, July 15 at 11:31 am
I can just feel my mouthwatering from reading this post. Will have to make this for the family when I go back this summer!
Eileen On Tuesday, July 15 at 12:37 pm
This recipe and the curry one look lovely. My family is super healthy (young adult girls) and they want only brown rice. How would I substitute brown rice in this recipe? Cook it first and then just sauté a little bit in veg broth, lemon and turmeric? Then maybe add the cream and basil? Love your site, and your outlook. I can feel your happiness!
Celestine On Tuesday, July 15 at 1:37 pm
Looks delish! Thanks for the yummy inspiration!
Accountancy Services Harrow On Tuesday, July 15 at 2:30 pm
Just made this for our dinner. Used a range of sea food like muscles, scallops and octopus. Tasted lovely. Thanks.
Jenn On Tuesday, July 15 at 10:19 pm
Sooooo good and it was my first time attempting risotto I was a little freaked out by all that black pepper so only used ½ tsp. I have a shellfish allergy and don't eat much meat anyways so sautéed the hubby's shrimp separately. Definitely saving this one for a future meal! Thank You!
Lorna On Wednesday, July 16 at 12:18 am
I made this tonight—HUGE success!!!! Thanks for giving me another go to dish that's perfect for just hubby and me or a decadent meal for guests, too!! The lemon and basil at the end really made the favors pop. I'm going to add calamari next time!
Bev On Wednesday, July 16 at 6:52 am
Dear Ree,
Made this for dinner last night. First time for using Aborio rice. My DH came into the kitchen and said what smells so good! IThe rice was so creamy and it tasted yummy. The recipe was easy to follow, too. Thank you.
Nicci On Wednesday, July 16 at 8:19 am
I was wondering if you had to use wine in this? I really don't care for wine so would it be ok just to add extra broth?
Sues On Wednesday, July 16 at 9:19 am
This was delicious! I made it last night. When I saw the recipe, I went right out and shopped for the ingredients. I used the basil from my garden. My family loved it!
Jessica S On Wednesday, July 16 at 11:22 am
This dish looks delicious…definitely trying this recipe soon. I have to find a recipe of yours that my family hasn't loved.
Brittany Jochman On Wednesday, July 16 at 11:31 am
This sounds so delish and goes perfectly with the Fed Up Challenge that my boyfriend and I are doing! No added sugar for 10 days. I just have to be sure and check the ingredients in the broth. Thanks!
Amy Ferguson On Wednesday, July 16 at 11:38 am
I have always thought / heard that you cannot mix lemon with cream…is this just a bad myth I have heard?
Jessica On Wednesday, July 16 at 2:03 pm
I just watched your show on Food Network and LOVED it!! I love that you are so real and relatable. Plus your recipes are easy to follow and I can't wait to try them. I look forward to following you!
Amanda McLain On Wednesday, July 16 at 3:11 pm
Hi Ree!
I absolutely love your recipes and I make them at least once I month; staples from your website in my home are the Beef and Snow Peas; but I use Broccoli, Chicken w/ Mustard Cream Sauce, and Salisbury Steak Meatballs.
I do have a quick question about this dish though; Since I am not a seafood eater, would it be alright to substitute chicken in this recipe? Also, Arborio Rice is hard to find in my area…Could you recommend another type of rice that I could use? I really want to try this out sometime.
Jeralyn On Wednesday, July 16 at 3:19 pm
This looks absolutely delicious! I'm allergic to shrimp, but am going to make this tonight with bay scallops instead. Do you have the calorie count available? If not, don't worry; I can calculate it out myself.
Jeralyn On Wednesday, July 16 at 5:18 pm
Never mind! I calculated it out (I used 3/4 lb of bay scallops), and each serving makes 180 calories. I would imagine that the calories are about the same for the shrimp. Just in case anyone else was curious.

Valerie On Wednesday, July 16 at 5:12 pm
I just made your cauliflower soup and OMG it's the best thing ever!!!!! Definitely making this again!!! Thank you!
Tracy On Wednesday, July 16 at 7:12 pm
I made thus tonight, amazing taste! I'm so excited I can make a risotto dish. Thanks Ree!
Lenise On Wednesday, July 16 at 7:59 pm
Wow Lee you inspire.so much I want to be a cook like you. I ain't gonna follow those doctor, lawyer stuff. I did try making your fruit.pops but it did not.work. I followed the exact way you made it but it was to lime tasting. It was sour. Maybe ill do better next time.
Juli On Wednesday, July 16 at 9:27 pm
I'm so confused. Is arborio a type of risotto ? I made this tonight and it took almost 7 cups of liquid to hydrate the arborio. Please help me. It sounded so good, but was incredibly sticky and still undercooked
Marla On Thursday, July 17 at 7:24 pm
Arborio is the type of rice. You're also supposed to add the liquid to the rice, in small batches (I recommend maybe half-cup fulls at a time). When doing this, make sure the rice absorbs up the entire first batch of liquid, before adding the next batch. To keep the rice from getting sticky, make sure you stir it frequently. I'm half Italian, so these are some risotto tips from my Nonna! Hope this helps!
Brooke H On Thursday, July 17 at 6:29 am
Hi Ree! I made this last night and it was awesome! So creamy and lemony. It was my first time making risotto so I was a little nervous, especially since I was trying to impress my sweet boyfriend. We both loved it! Thanks and LOVE your show and your blog!
Maggie On Thursday, July 17 at 11:42 am
Hi Ree
This looks fabulous. I am buying the ingredients today. Do you know if this dish would be good if I freeze it for a later date?
Joan W. On Thursday, July 17 at 6:35 pm
Made this wonderful dish for tonight's dinner. My daughter arrived home from working the farmers' market and sat down to a great meal…basil from our garden too! Thank you, we enjoyed it tremendously!
Kerry On Thursday, July 17 at 8:26 pm
Trying it for tonight's dinner – have never made risotto before. Wish me luck!
Terry from Georgia On Thursday, July 17 at 9:10 pm
This looks sooooo good. Top of my list of recipes to try. I am intrigued by the bracelet you are wearing in one of the pics. I can tell there are words on it. Mrs. Curious wants to know what it has engraved on it.
Kandyce On Thursday, July 17 at 10:22 pm
Made this tonight and it was fabulous! I got rave reviews from my family. It was surprisingly simple to make.
Laura @ Laura's Culinary Adventures On Friday, July 18 at 8:07 am
Yum! I wouldn't mind a fridge full of shrimp right now!
Mary Frances On Friday, July 18 at 8:34 am
I feel like risotto is one of those things that reality tv cooking competitions has taught home cooks to be afraid of- it NEVER seems to turn out right. However, the less than perfect risottos can still be mighty tasty. Even if you browned the rice a little too much, it still looks good!
Sandy On Friday, July 18 at 5:48 pm
Had everything ready to go to make this for dinner…None of the required rice! So I subbed Brown rice. While not as creamy, it worked and was delicious! Thanks for the great recipe.

Marla, thank you! I will try again. It took me over an hour to cool the rice!!!
Karen On Friday, July 18 at 10:36 pm
Wow! So glad I found your website! I've made the Shrimp Risotto and Chicken Spaghetti back-to-back and we loved both of them. (Made the Chicken Spaghetti for someone recovering from surgery and had to make some for us.) The pictures are very helpful – I had a little trouble with the risotto, having not made it before, but I stuck with it, and it turned out great. Thanks!!

One of my family's favorite uses for shrimp is Shrimp Mozambique. My husband's family is from Portugal and it is one of their signature dishes. Serve with rice and a lot of Portuguese Pops (rolls).

I made this last night and it was pretty good. I even went out and bought a small bottle of wine just for this recipe even though I'm not a wine drinker and I'm thinking I should have just left out the wine because that's all I could really taste. It seemed to over power this dish, but of course, that's just this non-wine drinkers opinion. Haha.
Heather On Saturday, July 19 at 5:43 pm
This looked like a winner, but it didn't work out very well. Maybe I got carried away with the lemon. The result was too sour. We would've like more savory onion, garlic, and parmesan flavors. Also, it was expensive to make.

I'm looking for some help to sign up for Ree's recipe email. I unsubscribed because my email changed but now I can't find the place on the website to sign up for recipe emails only. I signed up for the RSS feed but only want to receive the cooking emails. Please let me know where on the website to sign up. Thank you! Deb

Joyce On Sunday, July 20 at 8:57 pm
Hi Ree!
Today is Sunday, July 20. I watched your show, cooking around the world. I needed to make the Chicken Piccata:) so GLAD I did!! My family loved it, and it made our bellies happy. I was told by one of my sons that if he did'nt know, he would swear it came from a Resturant. Thank you so much, for your recipes and sharing them with us!
kpg On Sunday, July 20 at 9:26 pm
Those shrimp are overcooked.
JenR On Monday, July 21 at 2:11 pm
I made this last night and it was deeee-lish! I have always wanted to try my hand at risotto and I'm so glad I did. This recipe is perfect for summer—light and breezy but with enough heft to fill you up! Caution though, it makes an ENORMOUS amount. For the two of us, I'll halve it next time. But the leftovers today were super good! Thanks, Ree! Love your site and am enjoying trying some of your recipes!
Jen Stevens On Monday, July 21 at 5:19 pm
I made this and it was my first time ever trying risotto! It was so good and much easier than I thought it would be (not per your recipe, but due to the stigma that goes along with risotto)! Everyone at work had to taste it because when I warmed up the left overs the next day it gave our whole office a delicious aroma… Thanks Ree! I keep telling everyone that I need to come spend a week on your ranch… I could learn so much from you.
Jayne On Monday, July 21 at 8:50 pm
My husband and I are enjoying this meal tonight with a lovely glass of wine!!!! This is AMAZING …..LOVE IT!!! Great meal to cook with your loved ones and ENJOY!!!! Thank you!!!
Dana P On Wednesday, July 23 at 12:12 pm
Made this last night – loved it! My family enjoyed it too and said to make it again. That's an amazing endorsement!! Thank you for such great recipes ~
Gracie On Wednesday, July 23 at 7:31 pm
I feel like the time it takes to cook risotto is not acturately portrayed here. I've been cooking mine longer than 30 and it's still absorbing.
Faith On Wednesday, July 23 at 8:14 pm
Looks so delish. You're very talented I would love to try making this with quinoa!
Lori On Wednesday, July 23 at 10:29 pm

Allison A. On Friday, July 25 at 8:09 pm

Juvee @ShikenanAfricanShop On Saturday, July 26 at 10:45 am

Sarah S On Sunday, July 27 at 10:44 pm
Does this really make 12 servings? That seems like a lot for the amounts given.
Abby Mehlin On Tuesday, July 29 at 11:30 am
Made this on Sunday night for me and the hubby. Wow – what a hit!!! it came out perfectly and I have been dreaming of it ever since. Followed it to the letter but made a smaller version.

Reconciling the Statement of Operations is an important part of the overall control framework within the University and should be completed on a monthly basis. These monthly reconciliations help ensure that only valid charges have been applied against your account and that transactions you expect have been posted as anticipated.
Financial Services receives numerous requests each month to provide supporting documentation or information for charges that have been applied to departments. Dollar values of the transactions for which supporting documentation is being requested range from less than five dollars to more than one thousand dollars.
Reconciling statements on a monthly basis can be time consuming and a balance between level of effort and level of accuracy is important.
Individuals reconciling department statements need not seek additional supporting documentation for transactions of less than $50 unless there is concern of an error.
In supporting the community with respect to reconciliations, Financial Services will focus efforts on requests for transactional information above $50, and to those where there is a concern of an error.

"It's driving me crazy," Woodside resident Phyllis Pastuzyn said.
R.J. Huegal's and Pastuzyn's separate homes on 56th Avenue between Queens Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue are not far from the noisy 7 train, but Pastuzyn said that noise they can deal with. However, the airplanes that fly above them from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. the next day at a rate of about every 40 seconds to 2 minutes is too much, they say.
"The past three weeks its been every 30 seconds. It's getting to be really crazy," said Huegal, who is an artist working from home.
For the last couple of years they've been losing sleep, at-home work hours and their cable and Internet connections go in and out. Sometimes the airplanes fly so low that Pastuzyn can smell the jet fuel, she said.
"'I'm sleep deprived," she said. "The WiFi goes on the fritz and the TV flashes no signal every time a plane goes over."
A couple of months ago Huegal called the Port Authority about the loud planes. A few hours later two officers appeared outside his door. He said they asked if he has ever been incarcerated and told him to stop calling the Port Authority.
The PA has no record of this visit, spokesman Chris Valens said. However, he added that officers visited Pastuzyn's house last year when she allegedly threatened airplane safety.
"Ms. Pastuzyn had been calling hundreds of times a day and started to threaten safety. She said she would fly balloons into airspace," Valens said. "We sent officers then."
Huegal and Pastuzyn are the most vocal about the issue and frequently call the PA and several area politicians. However, others on the block and residents in other neighborhoods notice the noise too.
A teacher from PS 111, down the street on Roosevelt Avenue, who wished to remain anonymous, said she has to stop class every minute because she can't speak over the plane noise.
"The noise is so loud, my father who is half deaf is getting annoyed," the teacher said.
Bill Powers, a three-generation resident of Middle Village and the co-founder of Middle Village Clean and Quiet Skies, said if anything would make him move it would be the constant airplane noise.
"We are asking for something quite simple — that the burden should be shared," Powers said.
Airplanes fly low over his home constantly on a direct visual approach to LaGuardia Airport.
"I think it's a class issue. They aren't going over the nice areas in Manhattan or Forest Hills," Powers said, adding "it's affecting property values."
Residents in Briarwood have also noticed the barrage of low-flying planes.
"I have been disturbed in my sleep for the last three months, since I sleep from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. due to my later night work," Joseph Manago said. "A friend of mine ... also has noticed electromagnetic interference in101.1 FM radio programtransmission in the afternoons and evenings."
About four years ago New York airports redesigned their airspace, said Jeffrey Starin, a private airplane pilot and the president of Park Slope Quiet Skies, a Brooklyn-based community group that is tracking the increased plane noise. Planes approaching LaGuardia and Kennedy airports cause the annoyance for Queens residents.
"The information is as pertinent to Queens as it is to Park Slope," Starin said.
The redesign allows more planes to fly into the airports at the same time, by pushing some planes to a higher altitude and pushing others lower. The latter cause the noise for those living below.
Along with increased traffic, advanced GPS systems have enabled planes to fly a more direct path into the airports. Therefore there are more planes flying the same path instead of spread out horizontally.
"Prior to the implementation of these new GPS-based approach routes, aircraft flew a less precise ground-track towards the runway's threshold, thereby distributing the noise over a greater geographical area," Starin said. "Now less people experience more noise, noise that is well beyond the threshold considered safe for humans."
Last December, Congressman Joe Crowley (D-Queens, Bronx) announced that Delta Airlines got the green light from the U.S. Department of Transportation to begin a $117 million construction project at LaGuardia. As part of the agreement, the airline said it would begin phasing out some of its smaller, noisier jets for fewer, but bigger and quieter ones.
"The Port Authority monitors noise complaints in cooperation with the FAA at its airports to determine if weather conditions, and changing runway-use patterns are impacting local communities," Port Authority spokesman Ron Marsico said. "Modifications, however, in flight paths and the runways used for landings and takeoffs are limited because of various factors, including visibility, seasonal weather conditions and wind direction."
However, residents affected by the noise say they haven't seen a decrease and can't take much more.

Q.  I live just with my husband and "splits" are too big for just the two of us.  I'd like to divide your dishes into thirds, each of which serves 2 people.  Is this permitted?
Let'Äôs Dish! policy is to allow customers to make 'Äúfull'ÄĚ or 'Äúsplit'ÄĚ menu items with 2-3 and 4-6 servings, respectively.¬† Generally speaking, we cannot allow customers to further split meals (into three meals for two or six individual meals, for example).¬† There are two reasons for this policy:
·         Our Food Team carefully tests fulls and splits, and provides accurate and vetted cooking instructions for each.  We haven't had enough demand for further splitting to justify testing, special labels, instructions, etc. We want everyone to love their meals, and not have to stand in front of the stove guessing.
¬∑¬†¬†¬†¬†¬†¬†¬†¬† Making 'Äúthirds'ÄĚ or 'Äúsixths'ÄĚ takes the customer more time and creates additional traffic at the stations; we want to make sure stations (and customers) are moving fast enough to deliver on the Let'Äôs Dish! promise of quick and easy assembly.

University of Iowa officials are pushing forward with a facelift for 25-year-old Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
"After 25 years, it's still a great place, but we need to update," UI athletics director Gary Barta said. "If I had to characterize it, the number one need we have is practice space."
The arena serves 23 of Iowa's 24 athletic programs in one capacity or another, including men's and women's basketball, wrestling and volleyball. Built in 1983 for about $18.4 million, Barta expects the renovations to cost about $40 million. Athletic gifts and earnings will fund the project. ...

Browser Compatibility Tutorial
by Tom Dahm
This tutorial explains why you may be seeing browser display errors and recommends steps to avoid these problems. The Browser Photo service helps you know if you have browser display errors by showing you actual snapshots of your page under different browsers, computers, and screen resolutions.
HTML Toolbox shows you whether display errors are due to browser compatibility problems or HTML code errors. HTML Toolbox has a one-click repair feature that repairs most coding errors, but in some cases your display problems may be due to other factors.
What You Can Do
What Causes Browser Display Differences?
Your Web browser is a translation device. It takes a document written in the HTML language and translates it into a formatted Web page. The result of this translation is a little like giving two human translators a sentence written in French and asking them to translate it into English. Both will get the meaning across, but may not use the same words to do so.
The basic rules for translating HTML documents are established by the World Wide Web consortium, which publishes the official HTML standards. But there's considerable room for interpretation within those ground rules.
For example, the HTML standards say that the TABLE tag should support a CELLSPACING attribute to define the space between parts of the table. But standards don't define the default value for that attribute, so unless you explicitly define CELLSPACING when building your page, two browsers may use different amounts of white space in your table.
In addition, the HTML standards usually run ahead of what the browsers support. No browser as yet supports 100% of the HTML Version 5 standard, but some browsers come closer than others. Over the past few years Internet Explorer has done a much better job of this than Netscape Navigator, though Opera has done arguably the best job.
But since support for the latest HTML tags isn't universal, you could be building your pages with parts of the language that not all browsers understand. In that case the browser will ignore that part of your page it can't translate, and the way your page displays will be affected.
This problem is further complicated by browser-specific "HTML extensions." Back during the heyday of the Browser Wars, both Netscape and Microsoft tried to get a competitive edge by running ahead of the HTML standards, inventing their own tags and attributes.
The theory was that Web designers would fall in love with these attributes and put little buttons at the bottom of the page saying, "Best viewed with Netscape Navigator." So Internet users would rush to download that browser and, voila, Netscape would win the Browser Wars.
In practice no Internet user will download a new browser just to view your Web site, so these HTML extensions only created headaches for Web designers.
The best way to minimize these problems is to pay attention to browser compatibility when building your Web page. Avoid using HTML extensions and be careful about using cutting-edge features of the language that may not yet be supported by all the major browsers.
We also recommend you test your pages with HTML Toolbox and review its Browser Compatibility report.
The major difference between two versions of the same browser is their support for newer portions of the HTML language. A new browser is generally better at displaying Web pages than an old one.
However, Internet users tend to upgrade their browser based on the addition of new features, like email integration and instant messaging. If a user doesn't care about these features, they're happy to keep surfing the Web with their old browser.
That presents a problem for Web designers, because for some length of time after the new browser appears, a significant minority of people will still use the previous version. So rushing to build pages with the HTML features supported by the new browser will have to wait.
A good rule of thumb is to design your pages to work for the last two versions of the major browsers.
While a handful of people use browsers older than that, their numbers aren't large enough to justify the sacrifice required to support them. A few people still use Version 3 browsers, but these browsers don't support Cascading Style Sheets, which are the most important addition to HTML in the last 6 years.
Also note that new browser versions sometimes represent major changes in a browser, and in these cases all bets on the browser's behavior are off.
For example, Navigator Version 6.1 is a complete rewrite of Netscape's browser, so a page that worked well under Navigator Version 4 may not work under Version 6. That's especially true if you use Dynamic HTML on your pages.
The Macintosh is still used by 12% of computer users, and has a very loyal following among graphic designers and publishers. In theory, if you view your page on both a PC and a Mac using the same version of the same browser, it should display the same, right?
In practice that's rarely the case. There are three reasons for this:
Our free Webmaster Tips Newsletter archive contains a number of important tips for avoiding problems between the PC and Mac.
If you don't test your pages using different screen resolutions, your page may be stretched to fit a large screen, or be cropped to fit a small screen.
Many experienced Web designers use HTML tables to control their page layout, yet they design their pages on large, 1024x768 pixel screens. When these pages are displayed on smaller computer screens, the browser may not be able to fit all the content onto the screen. In these cases, the content will scroll of the right of the page. While this may not sound like much of a problem, users hate scrolling left and right to view a page.
This problem should be easy to avoid, yet a surprising number of otherwise well-designed Web sites don't fit within the standard 800-pixel PC computer screen. This is especially a problem for pages built by graphic artists using a Macintosh, whose standard screen size is 1024x768. Many designers forget that designing for an 800-pixel screen means using roughly a 750-pixel layout.
Many less experienced Webmasters design their pages without tables, or dimension their tables to fit 100% of the screen width. If you've built your Web page this way on a computer with an 800-pixel screen, you may be surprised how your page is stretched to fit a larger screen. Text and graphics that were adjacent on your smaller screen may not be so on a large screen.
To avoid this, wrap the content of your page inside a single, large, one-cell table. Set the width of this table to be about 560-pixels, if you're designing for a 600 pixels layout, or 750-pixels if you're designing for an 800 pixel layout.
Because the majority of Internet users have a screen resolution of 800 pixels or less, it's a bad idea to design your site for a larger screen.
Most browsers allow users to customize their default font size. Many users who work on computers all day do this to reduce eye strain. As a result, user preferences may cause the typeface that you used to design your Web page to increase as much as 50% larger in a user's browser. This increase in font size can hurt many carefully-planned page designs.
Whether you're an HTML coder who builds Web pages by working with the raw HTML tags, or a designer using a WYSIWYG editor like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, the odds are your finished Web page will contain HTML errors.
We've tested over 52 million Web pages at NetMechanic. A recent sampling of results from our HTML Toolbox showed that a shocking 85% of these pages contained at least one HTML error!
Does that mean that 85% of Web pages are broken? Probably not, but it greatly increases the chance that these pages will have browser display problems.
An HTML error is some spot on your Web page where you've violated the official rules of HTML. For example, you may have two tags that overlap one another in a way that the standards say isn't legal.
In practice, the major browsers are robust and forgive many of these HTML errors. But not all browsers forgive the same errors. So your favorite browser may display your Web page without error, but another browser may be seriously affected by the same error.
For example, look at these images. The HTML code on this page forgets to close a single TABLE tag, which is a violation of the HTML rules. Internet Explorer forgives this error and displays the page correctly; Netscape Navigator can't recover from the errors and doesn't display the page at all!
The best way to avoid HTML errors is to validate your Web page with a tool like HTML Toolbox. A validator will scan your page and spot areas where you've violated the rules of good HTML. Correcting these errors and following the rules of good HTML goes a long way toward eliminating browser display errors.
The free sample of our HTML Toolbox will give you a full validation report on your Web page. The subscription version of this service can also automatically repair the majority of HTML errors it finds on your page. We don't guarantee that HTML Toolbox will cure all your problems, but it will save you hours of time spent solving these problems by hand.
As you've probably seen by now, building a Web page that displays well on all browsers isn't easy. To make matters worse, sometimes you've done everything right, and your page still doesn't display correctly under one specific browser. It's not your fault - you've just encountered a browser bug.
Unfortunately, browser bugs are a fact of life for Web designers. Each browser has its own unique set of errors and quirks that you have to adapt to. That's especially true with Version 4 of Netscape Navigator, whose early editions were rushed out the door to beat Internet Explorer to market. A columnist for WebReference recently called Navigator Version 4 "truly terrible browser."
For example, take perhaps the most widely encountered browser bug in existence. The HTML standards say that when you build an HTML table, you don't have to explicitly close each table cell with a closing </TD> tag. This closing tag is optional. Yet unless you explicitly close your table cells, Navigator 4 will not display your table if it is nested inside another table. Since nesting tables is common practice to control page layout, this bug wrecks many well-designed pages.
Netscape isn't the only browser prone to bugs. Internet Explorer for the Macintosh has a number of bugs and quirks in the way it handles text spacing.
When you
encounter a browser bug, it often means resorting to trial-and-error debugging to remove the problem. But before you resort to that, check our free Webmaster Tips Newsletter archive. It contains many tips related to browser bugs that can save you valuable time.
What You Can Do
We wish it were easy to cure browser display problems, but fixing them takes time. Read the following steps to learn what you can do to make it easier.
First, understand that it's hard to build a Web page that displays perfectly on every version of every browser running on every computer. And doing so may require you to leave out features that you really, really want to have on your Web page. Building a Web page that's compatible with Version 1.0 of every browser would mean building a bland page filled with plain text.
So the first step to solving browser compatibility problems is to determine which browsers really matter to you.
To some extent we've done this for you in Browser Photo, since we don't include very old browsers such as Internet Explorer Version 3, or Netscape Version 2. While a handful of people still use these browsers, there aren't enough to justify the pain required to design pages for them.
But what about WebTV and Opera? We've included these browsers because they have small, but fiercely loyal followings. To quote one WebTV user, "We may be small in numbers, but build a site that's WebTV friendly and word gets around."
Within our own site, we track the pages typically viewed by WebTV users, and optimize those pages to work for that browser. Other pages aren't optimized for WebTV.
You may decide to do the same for your site, or you may decide that not enough people use these browsers to justify supporting them. In either case, define a goal and design toward it.
The Web is hip; it's hot and exciting; it's radical. So many Web designers feel they have to build cutting-edge features into their Web page. That's a bad idea, because cutting-edge features are rife with browser compatibility problems, not to mention the impact they have on your page load time.
Web designers typically go through three stages of maturity: (1) I'm just learning; (2) I know it all, and I'm going to prove it by filling my site with cutting-edge features; (3) I've been burned by browser display problems, and only use what's compatible.
Not convinced? Try this exercise. Take some of the most well-known sites on the Internet: Yahoo, eBay, Amazon.com. Now go to those sites and look at their HTML code.
You won't see many cutting-edge features here. You won't see them using Java or Dynamic HTML. You won't see Flash.
Including cutting-edge features in your site doesn't guarantee compatibility problems, but it greatly increases the chance of browser display errors. If you really feel you need to include these features, it's essential to test your pages under all major browsers. Check every page carefully with Browser Photo.
Pay Attention to Your Browser Compatibility Report
HTML errors are the leading cause of browser display problems. Making sure your Web pages are error free is one of the most important steps you can take to solve browser display problems.
That means running an HTML validator, like HTML Toolbox, over every page in your site.
The free sample of our HTML Toolbox will give you a full report of all the HTML errors on your Web page. The subscription version of this service can also automatically repair most HTML errors it finds on your page.
HTML Toolbox isn't a silver bullet; we don't claim that it will solve all of your browser display problems. But using it can dramatically reduce the time your spend tracking down browser display problems.
Next to HTML errors, compatibility problems are the leading cause of browser display errors. We've already warned you about including cutting-edge features in your site, but compatibility dangers extend to all aspects of HTML.
HTML Toolbox includes a Browser Compatibility report that will identify HTML tags and attributes that aren't compatible with the three most recent versions of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. Check this report and avoid HTML tags that aren't compatible.
While HTML Toolbox can solve many browser display problems, there are some problems it can't address. That's especially true if these problems are caused by browser quirks and bugs. In these cases you'll have to track down your HTML problem yourself. Be patient; you can expect this process to take anywhere from one to four hours. Try following these steps to track down the cause:
Why do you care about Browser Compatibility?
Web sites reflect the company's professional image. If your site renders improperly or not at all, your company's reputation can be tarnished. If your site has browser display problems, visitors and potential customers will leave your site and not look back.
In contrast, a professional looking site will make visitors feel more comfortable, stay longer and browse more pages. And because of this increased credibility, they are more likely to purchase the products and services that they are looking for from you.
A simple purchase of HTML Toolbox and Browser Photo can protect your site from preventable errors, maintain your professional image, and increase your bottom line.

A study on Taser use in Hamilton County released Oct. 1 by a local law firm that has represented Taser victims in the past four years seeks to shed light on the problems behind Taser use in the county and nationwide.
The study, which looked at 39 law enforcement agencies around Hamilton County through public record requests, listed a few key findings:
The study also pointed out that the tension behind Taser use "does not exist only in the abstract," referencing the more than 500 deaths involving Taser use in the United States.
Al Gerhardstein, the local attorney behind the study, hopes the findings will lead to a change in Taser policies around the county.
On Sept. 18, the Cincinnati Police Department established new guidelines for Taser use, which the department now says are adequate for dealing with the problems found in Gerhardstein's study. The new policy disallows the use of frontal shots except in situations involving self-defense and the defense of others, reinforces the fact officers need to make sure force is necessary and specifically points out people have been injured due to Taser use in the past.
As CityBeat did in the 2007 and 2009 election cycles, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "The Police and Fire departments constitute 69 percent of the city's General Fund spending. Do you believe this amount can be lessened without affecting public safety?"
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio on Monday asked Attorney General Mike DeWine to shut down a facial recognition program used by law enforcement until state officials verify and develop safety protocols that protect Ohioans' rights to privacy.
DeWine formally announced the program's existence in a press conference Monday. It allows police officers and civilian employees to use a photo to search databases for names and contact information. Previously, law enforcement officials needed a name or address to search such databases.
The program has been live for more than two months and so far used for 2,677 searches. In that time span, the program was kept hidden from the public and hasn't been checked by outside groups for proper safety protocols.
The attorney general's office is just now putting together an independent panel of judges, public defenders, chiefs of police, sheriffs and other public safety officials to look at the program and gauge whether currently standing protections are adequate.
"The time for press conferences and advisory boards was months ago," said Gary Daniels, associate director of ACLU of Ohio, in a statement. "This system needs to be shut down until there are meaningful, documented rules in place to keep this information secure, protect the privacy of innocent people and prevent government abuse of this new tool."
Shortly after unveiling the program at a press conference, DeWine acknowledged it should have been revealed to the public earlier: "In hindsight, if I had to over again, we would have put out a release the day that it went up or before that."
Still, DeWine defended the program's ability to connect law enforcement with criminal suspects.
"Historically for, I don't know, decades, law enforcement has had the ability to pull up the (Bureau of Motor Vehicles) information," DeWine said, before noting that similar facial recognition programs have been adapted by federal officials and 28 other states.
DeWine also explained that he thinks the current protections for the program are good enough, but he said it's prudent to have an independent group verify the standards.
Misusing the program qualifies as a fifth-degree felony, which carries a prison sentence of six months to one year.
David Pepper, who's running for attorney general in 2014
against DeWine, criticized the current attorney general for how the program has been handled.
"It is highly irresponsible for the Attorney General of Ohio to launch something this expansive and this intrusive into the lives of law-abiding citizens without ensuring the proper protocols were already in place to protect our privacy," Pepper said in a statement. "To have kept this a secret for this long only makes it worse."
DeWine said the independent group will be given 60 days to come up with recommendations. His office intends to announce who will serve on the group in the next few days.
A groundbreaking piece of legislation that would update investigative practices used by law enforcement agencies statewide has passed out of committee and is headed for a vote by the full Ohio House. State Rep. Tyrone Yates (D-Walnut Hills), chairman of the House Criminal Justice Committee, announced today that Substitute Senate Bill 77 was approved. The committee voted 8-2 in favor of the bill.
The city and gay rights organizations will host an LGBT public safety forum tonight. The partnership between the city of Cincinnati, Equality Cincinnati and the Human Rights Campaign of Greater Cincinnati (HRC) is meant to encourage and improve relations between the Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) and the gay community.
Lisa Davis, spokesperson for CPD, says the idea for the public forum came about when Andrew Winters, a diversity co-chair at HRC, ran into Police Chief James Craig at the Coffee Emporium coffee shop in Over-the-Rhine. Winters introduced himself to Craig, and Craig told Winters he was interested in addressing the LGBT community to open some dialogue and gather feedback.
One of the forum's purposes will be to explain CPD priorities. As an example, Davis explained why police might take an hour and a half to respond to a call at a gay club. She said that kind of delay is likely related to CPD's priority system. In the example of the gay club, perhaps someone was assaulted, but the suspect already left. If that happens, CPD would prioritize a case in which a suspect is still on the scene.
Davis hopes the explanations will ease concerns of police discrimination in the LGBT community. On the other side, she says the forum could help CPD gather feedback and learn about any overlooked problems.
CPD will also name Angela Vance as an LGBT liaison.
Davis says Vance will be open to calls from anyone in the LGBT community
to look into special events, collect information on crimes and review
possible cases of police mistreatment. For these cases, Vance will help
victims file complaints and provide guidance.
The public forum will take place at 6 p.m. tonight at the Mayerson Room in the School for Creative and Performing Arts, 108 West Central Parkway.
City Manager Milton Dohoney announced on Sept. 13 that Jeffrey Blackwell, the current deputy chief of the Columbus Division of Police, is being appointed to Cincinnati's top police job.
The appointment ends a months-long process as the city searched for a replacement for former Police Chief James Craig, who left in June to take the top police job in his hometown, Detroit.
Blackwell was picked over three other finalists: Paul Humphries, who's been acting Cincinnati Police chief since Craig left; Michael Dvorak, deputy chief of the Mesa, Ariz., Police Department; and Jerry Speziale, deputy superintendent of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police.
In a statement, the city touted Blackwell's accomplishments in Columbus: Blackwell is a 26-year veteran of the police force, he was commended for his outreach to young people, he helped reach out to significant immigrant populations such as Somalians and Latinos, he advanced the use of technology and he worked with the city and communities to reduce crime and costs.
"Jeff understands that we have to work with the various communities we serve to build a culture of understanding and respect. In particular, I have spoken to him about our need to work in partnership with other organizations to reach teen youth and young adults to move the needle on reducing crime in this community," Dohoney said in a statement.
With the decision, Blackwell will be put in charge of implementing new policies and leading the Cincinnati Police Department.
The appointment was made without much public input, even though some City Council members previously called on Dohoney to open up the process. Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld on Sept. 9 sent a letter to the city manager asking him to hold town halls in which the public could ask questions and evaluate the police chief candidates.
The city manager is ultimately in charge of who gets appointed to the city's top police job.
Two far-reaching ideas by Cincinnati's fly-by-the-seats-of-their-pants City Council is being sharply criticized by people with extensive experience in policing issues.
As City Council acts surprised about a $58 million deficit that's loomed on the horizon for months, an amount that's only fluctuated slightly due to changing revenues, members last week proposed abolishing the Cincinnati Police Department's patrol bureau and contracting those services to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
