If prawns are not your favourite, take a look at our Chicken Risotto with Mushrooms recipe. I can’t think of a better comfort meal for myself than a creamy risotto. It’s hard to resist a bowl of steaming risotto when plump juicy prawns are involved. I can never decide between prawn pasta or prawn risotto. I love them both! The recipe I am sharing today is inspired by the traditional Risotto ai Frutti di Mare (Seafood Risotto). I’ve tried numerous versions of the classic in various Italian restaurants, and out of those experiences came this recipe. I simplified the process a tiny bit for the busy modern cook and added green peas to make it a complete one pan meal. I chose prawns (or shrimp in the US) for my risotto simply because they are my favourite type of seafood. But don’t let my personal preference stop you from adding scallops, mussels or clams.
