Our Thermomix Garlic Prawn Risotto is a firm favourite in our house! A rich creamy risotto, with fresh prawns, parmesan and baby spinach... YUM!
If you've been visiting ThermoBliss for a while, you'll know that we're massive fans of making risotto in the Thermomix. It's quick, it's easy and the results are oh-so-good! And our Thermomix Garlic Prawn Risotto is all of those things and so much more!
I like to stir baby spinach through my risotto at the end, but that step is entirely optional. You can always substitute it for sun-dried tomatoes or even frozen peas. Our Garlic Prawn Risotto will easily feed 4 people, making it a great family dinner!

This one is definitely a family favourite…super quick and easy, as well as being a little bit “fancy”. I always keep frozen prawns on hand, so tend to make this when there is nothing left in the fridge. Thank you!
Jessica says
Absolutely delicious! Simple for this novice and quick for family dinner
Margie says
I needed to cook something with leftover green prawns from Good Friday and came across this. I wanted something easy and quick for a Sunday night dinner. My husband had never eaten risotto before and was sceptical. Well, after he finished his bowl and I had seconds, he picked up the thermoserver and finished it off! My very fussy son also devoured his and remarked how good it was. The only thing I did different is add a squeeze of lemon when I added the wine.
Andrea says
So delicious and creamy. Will definitely make again.
Leanne Main says
This was delicious! I was wondering if I could freeze some as I live alone and it’s a large amount for one person
Lucy says
Hi Leanne, as long as your prawns were raw before cooking them and you reheat it very well, you can freeze it.
Grant says
A really great recipe. Even a cooking dunce like me can follow it and it tasted Devine. We have had this several times now and enjoy it every time. Thanks for sharing.
