Ingredients:

➤1 cup Arborio rice

➤1/2 pound (225g) prawns, peeled and deveined

➤4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

➤1/2 cup dry white wine

➤1 small onion, finely chopped

➤2 cloves garlic, minced

➤1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

➤2 tablespoons butter

➤2 tablespoons olive oil

➤1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

➤Salt and pepper to taste

➤Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broth: In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. Keep it warm while you prepare the risotto.

2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

3. Toast the Rice: Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is slightly toasted.

4. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the dry white wine and cook until it's mostly absorbed by the rice, stirring constantly.

5. Cooking the Risotto: Begin adding the warm broth to the rice, one ladleful at a time. Stir the rice constantly and allow each ladleful of broth to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to your desired level of doneness. This usually takes about 18-20 minutes.

6. Add the Prawns: About halfway through the cooking time, add the peeled and deveined prawns to the risotto. Cook them until they turn pink and opaque, which should take around 3-4 minutes.

7. Finish the Risotto: Once the rice is cooked and has reached a creamy consistency, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Serve: Divide the prawn risotto among serving plates. Sprinkle chopped parsley over each plate. Serve the risotto hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
