  Thinking of doing this recipe, but in the method you say cook prawns at the beginning until change in colour and then repeat the same instruction at the end, so when is it exactly?!

  my first risotto and was absolutely delicious. "cooking" - at the start you are meant to cook the prawn shells in the stock (i didnt have shells, just frozen prawns, and i just put them in near the end, giving them just enough time to cook).

  A lovely risotto, I used large cooked prawns instead of uncooked prawns and added them towards the end, the chilli just gave the dish an extra kick.

  This was a really nice meal even if it is slightly confusing to cook. It says that it takes 25mins to cook and then in point 3 tells you to cook the rice over a low heat for 25-30mins after completing all the other tasks to that point. In point 2 it also tells you to add 1/2 the butter. Butter is not in the ingredients and you never have to put the other half in????!!!! Still pretty good though if you can work it out :)

  I used 3 knor Fish stock cubes - as per the instructions on the box to make the stock, and found the risotto may to fishy with no lemon taste at all, so at the very end added another good glug of wine for extra flavour! However, the consistancy was nice and using 2tsp of dried chillies (I had no frseh) worked nicely and gave a good heat to the dish. I would do it again but would probably change the stock to fresh and add more lemons.

  This is amazing! My favourite goodfood risotto so far! Could not find fish stock cubes over here in Austria, so made up a vegetable stock and then followed Barney's tips with the shells and chillis, yum, I really believe this contributed to the flavour of the risotto. Added the prawns right near the end, as instructions were a bit confusing and didn't want to have them in the pan for 25 mins. Added a bit more lemon than the recipe suggested to taste. Loved it!

  I did love the dish but got confussed with the instructions. There was no butter listed in the ingredients so that was confussing but I used it at the end while it was standing, to add a lovely gloss. I also used chicken stock in place of fish so it wasn't too fishy.

  We really enjoyed this risotto, so fresh flavoured. I used spring onions instead of cooking ones as I had some to use up. I also added some chopped red pepper for colour (only had green chilli in) and used veg stock instead of fish and added cooked prawns at the end with peas. Yummo!

  Tried this, only I had to use veg stock cubes instead of fish stock. Was very succesfull and I found it easy to do. I have since made a similar dish but using chicken & chicken stock. So for anyone who's not into fish..... Delicious!

  Fab - did as a quick starter last night and it was great! Used Knorr fish stock instead of the shells, fried onions in a knob of butter and served with zest and some parsley - adding prawns right at the end - was really really good. I got a tip from a chef friend, who said NEVER to stir a risotto (???!) and to use a non-stick frying pan instead - worked a treat!

  This was a big success with friends. I used Chicken stock, added the prawns at the end with a bit of chilli. Deicious. Will definitely do again and maybe try with scallops - that sounds great too!

  My absolute favourtie risotto recipe! I often do half prawns half salmon or just salmon on it's own works great if you're not into shellfish. Another chillis does no harm either... PS. I think the recipe is confusing because it was taken from a special spread in the actual magazine on how to cook the perfect risotto; the instructions were split across the spread so Good Food do need to look at correcting this one as it's so worth cooking :)
