Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water, and ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Stir once, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 18 minutes. (Do not lift the lid or stir!) Remove the rice from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel, let cool, then break into pieces.
  3. Wipe out the skillet and heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
  4. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a boil.
  5. Stir in the shrimp, corn, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Simmer until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the bacon and serve over the rice.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
