How to make Prawn Risotto:
- The first step to make our recipe is to prepare the ingredients for the prawn risotto.
- To make the onion sauce, take a deep pot over medium heat and once hot, add a little olive oil and add the white onion in fine squares.
- Let fry for a few minutes and add salt, black pepper and garlic paste. Sauté for five more minutes.
- Add the rice. Arborio rice is a special type of rice for preparing risottos since its shape and consistency help to achieve a creamier rice.
- Mix the rice very well with the white onion and let it fry for a few minutes.
- Add the broth and butter, stirring constantly so that the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook the rice for 18 to 20 minutes over medium heat.
- You will see how the rice absorbs the broth. The idea is to achieve a creamy consistency as seen in the photograph.
- Apart, sauté the prawns in a very hot pan.
- Add fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and finely chopped garlic. Remember not to overcook them, about 5 minutes on each side will be enough.
- Add the cava, the milk cream and the Parmesan cheese to the pot with the risotto. Mix the ingredients of our recipe very well.
- Add the already sautéed prawns to our risotto, the ideal is to cut them into thick slices and mix well. Leave some whole prawns to decorate the platters. Put out the fire.
- Serve the prawn risotto adding a little fresh parsley on top and decorate each plate with a prawn as seen in the photograph.
