Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate zucchini. • Zest lemon (see ingredients) to get a pinch then cut into wedges. • Roughly chop parsley. Pick thyme leaves.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and garlic paste, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add arborio rice, stirring to combine. Add the water, vegetable stock pot, thyme and bring to boil. Cook, stirring, until combined, 2 minutes. • Transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish, then cover tightly with foil. Bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes. TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. TIP: Stir through a splash of water to loosen the risotto, if needed.
• When risotto has 5 minutes remaining, wipe out the frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook peeled prawns and lemon zest, tossing, until prawns are pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. Season. TIP: Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.
• Remove risotto from the oven. • Stir through baby spinach leaves, the butter, Parmesan cheese, half of the parsley, and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper. • Divide lemon and parsley risotto between plates. Top with prawns and garnish with reserved parsley. • Serve with remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
