Preperation and cooking times
Ready in 30 mins- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
