Creamy, comforting and full of fresh flavour, this easy prawn risotto is a restaurant-qu ality dish you can make at home with minimal effort.
Cooked gently in your Nuovva® Stainless Steel Shallow Pan, the rice absorbs flavour slowly, creating a silky, rich texture while the prawns stay tender and juicy.
Finished with lemon zest, parmesan and a splash of white wine, this is the kind of meal that feels indulgent yet effortless, perfect for cosy evenings or impressive midweek dinners.
Best served immediately, while the risotto is luxuriously creamy and steaming hot.

Tools You Will Need:
Directions:
Step 1) Heat your sauté frying pan and then add the olive oil and butter
Step 2) Once the butter has melted, add in the onions and cook for 5 minutes until soft
Step 3) Add in the garlic cloves and rice and stir until fully mixed and coated in oil
Step 4) Pour in the white wine and let it bubble until all the alcohol has evaporated

Tip Box - Why Nuovva® Shallow Stainless Steel Sauté Pan Works Best
A shallow sauté pan allows the risotto to cook evenly, encouraging gradual absorption of liquid while releasing starch from the rice. This creates the signature creamy texture without overcooking. Combined with gentle heat and consistent stirring, it’s the secret to perfect risotto every time.
