Step by step recipe

• 1: Peel the prawns and cut into small pieces.
• 2: Melt 30 g butter in a frying pan, add the prawns and fry until lightly browned.

• 6: Pour in 1 glass dry white wine and stir until the liquid has been completely absorbed.
• 7: Turn down the heat and add 4 glasses vegetable stock gradually, stirring all the time.
• 8: The rice should be cooked but still quite moist.
• 9: Add 100 ml cream and mix well.
• 10: Add the spiced prawns...
• 11: ...then the grated 50 g Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) and your risotto is ready.

Remarks

For a stronger curry flavour, you can add an extra tablespoon of curry powder between stage 5 and 6.
If you don't have any vegetable stock, a chicken stock cube will work fine.
