Risotto with champagne and tiger prawns

30 minutes
Risotto with champagne and tiger prawns is an exquisite dish of Italian cuisine that embodies elegance and sophistication. It was born at the intersection of Lombard gastronomy and Venetian taste, where sparkling wine plays a key role. The creamy consistency of Arborio rice, infused with the aromas of white wine and delicate chicken broth, harmoniously combines with juicy tiger prawns sautéed with garlic and thyme. A subtle hint of parmesan and cream adds tenderness to the dish, while fresh parsley completes the composition. This risotto is perfect for both a romantic dinner and a festive evening, revealing the charm of Italian hospitality in every spoonful.
