Instructions

Season the prawns and stir-fry them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 7 minutes.

Add the garlic and zucchini, cooking until softened, about 6 minutes.

Stir in the fresh basil, balsamic vinegar and parmesan for 2 minutes.

Cook the risotto rice separately, stirring until creamy.

Let the prawns simmer gently for about 14 minutes so they stay tender and the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the risotto rice, garnished with fresh herbs.
