 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
 60g butter
 4 shallots, finely chopped
 1 cup (200g) arborio rice
 1 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced
 6 garlic cloves, crushed
 1/3 cup (80ml) dry white wine
 1/2 cup (40g) finely grated parmesan
 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Method

Step 1

Place the stock in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer. Reduce
heat to low. Cover to keep warm.

Step 2

Heat 2 tbs oil and 40g butter in a large deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the
shallot and cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until shallot softens. Add rice, lemon rind and
half the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 min or until grains appear glassy. Add the wine or
extra stock and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in lemon juice.
Season.

Step 3

Add 1/2 cup (125ml) stock to the rice mixture. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins or until
liquid is absorbed. Repeat with remaining stock, stirring constantly and allowing the
liquid to be absorbed before adding more, until the rice is tender yet firm to the bite
and mixture is creamy (this should take about 20 mins). Stir in the parmesan and
parsley.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat remaining oil and butter in a frying pan over high heat. Cook prawns
and remaining garlic, stirring, for 2-3 mins or until prawns curl and change colour.
Season.

Step 5

Divide the risotto among serving plates. Top with the prawns to serve.
Serve with… lemon zest and chopped flat-leaf parsley.
