→ Main Ingredients
01 -
6-8 large raw prawns, tail-on (peeled or leave the shell on)
02 -
2 cups chicken or veggie stock
03 -
¾ cup arborio rice
04 -
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
05 -
1 tablespoon plain butter, unsalted
06 -
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
# Steps:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 400°F and let it heat up.
02 -
Melt the butter on medium heat in a sturdy pot that can also go in the oven and has a snug lid.
03 -
Put in the chopped garlic and stir for a minute to bring out its scent. Toss in the rice and stir it around for a bit, just until it smells nutty—about 1-2 minutes.
04 -
Add the prawns, stock, and salt into the pot. Give it a good mix and let it come to a lively boil.
05 -
Cover the pot tightly with the lid and move it to the oven. Don’t peek for the next 20 minutes.
06 -
Take the pot out of the oven, stir up the mixture one last time, and serve it hot.
# Tips:
01 -
Stick with arborio rice for the best creamy texture.
02 -
Serve it right away for a saucier dish. If it sits too long before serving, you might have to add some extra liquid.
03 -
This makes a great meal for a cozy date night.
