Description

This creamy prawn risotto is a true triumph of seafood flavors! The shellfish bisque, prepared with the heads and shells of the prawns, gives the rice an incredible depth of flavor. I often prepare it for special occasions, when I want to impress my guests with a refined and delicious dish. The final creaming with butter and chopped prawns makes it irresistibly creamy. A touch of fresh chopped parsley and a whole prawn as a decoration complete the work. Preparation time approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Ingredients (14 ingredients)

  • 300 g risotto rice
  • 500 g prawns
  • 40 ml white wine
  • 20 g butter
  • 1 piece shallot
  • 1 piece celery stalk
  • 1 piece carrots

Prawn preparation

Clean the prawns by removing eyes and mouth, then separate the tails from the heads and shell the crustaceans, keeping the heads and shells aside (if desired, keep a whole prawn for the final decoration). Cut the back of the tails and remove the gut. Finely chop the prawn tails and set aside.
