This easy gluten free Prawn and Chorizo Risotto is ready in less than 30 minutes. A super quick and tasty meal idea. Perfect served with a wedge of lemon and some fresh parsley - this recipe serves 4 but can easily be scaled up or down.
Place a non-stick saucepan on a medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chorizo and garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes until the chorizo has started to crisp up.
Add the paprika, stir and cook for 30 seconds. Then add the rice and stir until it is fully mixed in.
Add a ladle of hot stock (it’s best to keep the stock on a low heat in a separate pan so it stays hot!) to the risotto and stir to mix. Keep on a low heat and keep stirring.
Once the liquid is almost absorbed (you may feel the rice starting to catch on the bottom of the pan a little) add another ladle of stock. Continue this process, stirring constantly, until all of the stock is used up - approximately 20 minutes.
Add the lemon juice, frozen prawns and frozen peas. Mix well and then continue to cook (keep stirring!) until the prawns are pink and cooked through - approximately 4-5 minutes.
Serve with a wedge of lemon and some chopped fresh parsley.

Notes
Storing: Any leftover risotto can be refrigerated for 1-2 days and reheated thoroughly (ensure it's piping hot!), frozen or turned into gluten free arancini!
Top Tip: Feel free to use cooked prawns instead of raw - just make sure they are hot through before serving.
