Step 1

Start by heating the chicken stock in a saucepan and keep it warm on low heat.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet or a wide pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic cloves. Sauté them until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir it well to coat each grain with the oil. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes until it starts to turn slightly translucent at the edges.

Step 4

Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until it evaporates completely.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Begin adding the warm chicken stock to the skillet, one ladleful at a time. Stir gently and allow the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. Continue this process for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is al dente. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 6

To prepare the prawns, make incisions on each one to create a butterfly-like opening. You’ll need approximately 6-8 prawns for this, while the remaining prawns should be cut into small pieces. Once ready, add the prawns to the pan when the rice is halfway through the cooking process, which usually takes about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Within the final five minutes, include either frozen or fresh peas into the pan, ensuring occasional stirring while cooking. Once all the moisture is absorbed, turn off the heat and introduce butter and grated parmesan into the pan. Stir thoroughly to incorporate all the ingredients. Finally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest for a minute or two. This will help the risotto to settle.

Step 9

Serve the King Prawn Risotto hot. Garnish each serving with additional grated Parmesan, a sprinkle of chili flakes (if desired), and some fresh parsley for added freshness.
