Method

  1. Cook the garlic and spring onion in 2 tbsp oil for 2 minutes or until softened. Add the rice and cook for a few minutes until shiny and opaque. Reduce the heat and add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring until each one is absorbed - this will take about 15-20 minutes.
  2. The rice should be creamy but firm to the bite (you may not need all the stock). Add the lemon zest and juice and soured cream. Season well.
  3. Meanwhile, thread the prawns onto 2 bamboo skewers and griddle (char-grill) for 1 minute each side or until cooked. Serve with the lemon risotto.

    Made this quite a few times now, love the lemony risotto, have used a total 0% in place of the soured cream and it is just as good. I also prefer piri piri prawns with this, gives it a good spicy kick!
