How to make Risotto with prawns and green asparagus:
- In order to start making the Italian vegetable risotto recipe, you must prepare the ingredients.
- We are going to start the dish by cooking the rice, which is the base of this recipe. Then, take a deep pot over high heat and add the olive oil with the rice, salt and garlic paste. Sauté the rice until it takes on an intense white color.
- Add the seafood broth and 40 grams of butter. Cook the risotto over high heat until the liquid is completely evaporated, then lower the heat to finish cooking. Taste the recipe and when the risotto is at the indicated point, remove it from the heat.
- Bring a frying pan over medium heat and add the other teaspoon of olive oil, add the finely chopped white onion to fry it.
- Add the peeled prawns and fry for approximately three minutes with a little salt and black pepper. We cook so short to prevent the seafood from overcooking.
- Trick: You can replace the prawns with shrimp.
- Add the green asparagus cut into medium pieces, as shown in the photograph. Mix them very well with the rest of the ingredients of the sauce.
- Add the already cooked rice to the pan and stir well so that all the ingredients of the prawn risotto are integrated and distributed correctly.
- Add the white wine, the Parmesan cheese and fry for a few more minutes over low heat so that the cheese melts well and the risotto acquires an extra touch of flavor.
- Serve the shrimp and green asparagus risotto with more Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top and green asparagus tips to garnish the plate. This preparation is ideal to accompany with a glass of white wine, as it combines perfectly with seafood.
