Easy Creamy Garlic Prawn Risotto Recipe

Risotto is one of those hit or miss dishes. Garlic Prawn Risotto is one of the best risotto recipes I’ve made!

When done right, it rocks your world, rich and creamy without being heavy. But it’s not always done right. In fact it’s pretty easy to get an average risotto or even ruin it.

What rice to use for Risotto?

A good, creamy Risotto calls for risotto rice, most known as Arborio rice and can be found in most shops.It contains more starch than other types of rice and will make your risotto creamy without having to add cream.

How to make creamy prawn risotto?

It is not that difficult if you follow a couple of important steps. The most important, when cooking a risotto is stock addition.

The secret is to keep the stock hot so when you add it to the pan it continues to boil and to add small amounts at a time, stirring through the cooking process because the creaminess of the risotto comes from the released starch.

This recipe it’s one of our favorite dishes and my daughter could have it everyday 🙂 The addition of the garlic prawns makes it perfect.

    OMG I can eat risotto by the bowl full. I mean literally, I can make a meal of this alone…and often do. LOVE the addition of shrimp here. It is a rainy weekend, and I have all the ingredients…this just might be dinner tonight.

    All you had to say was risotto!!! When I saw shrimp I couldn’t wait to see how you made it. We do eat a lot of shrimp — even though we aren’t around a body of water we can get some great shrimp. I’ll certainly try out your recipe with some of our great shrimp.
