Kreyol-Mushroom Orzo with Shrimp
This dish is Chef Nahika's version of traditional Haitian djondjon, but adapted and updated as a savory orzo! The star of this dish is creamy, flavored with djondjon, a Haitian mushroom that brings loads of umami to the dish. Chef adds succulent shrimp cooked with a colorful sauce made with the holy trinity of Caribbean ingredients, tomato paste, bell peppers, and onions, blended with fresh herbs and Adobo spice to give the dish some spice and acidity. Fresh baby spinach adds bright earthy flavor. This dish is balanced, bright, flavorful, and comforting all at once!

About Nahika Hillery
Chef Nahika Hillery comes from a family of avid cooks — growing up she learned how to prepare traditional West Indian food while observing and practicing with several of her family members, especially her mother. Hillery came to love the flavor profiles of her home: full of spices, with balanced seasoning, and influences from a number of cuisines and styles, including Haitian and Creole. She decided to turn these early experiences with food into something more than cooking with and for friends and family at home. Combining her passion for cooking, cultural pride, and entrepreneurial spirit, Hillery opened Kreyòl Korner, the first Haitian food truck in Austin, Texas, in 2017. Through Kreyòl Korner (Kreyòl is the native language spoken in Haiti) she has been able to share her beloved culture and food with people visiting from all over the world. From a winning feature on the Food Network to critical acclaim in her new hometown of Austin, Hillery can't wait to share her story with you through her delicious food.
