In this dish, they form the base of a cheesy "risotto," featuring melted leeks, white wine, and rich chicken broth. Spinach and peas bring healthful balance, while a glug of heavy cream offers rich decadence. Topped with quickly-sauteed shrimp, the result is a restaurant-worthy meal. Serve with crusty bread, a green salad, and white wine.
