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!

Is the 2 tsp vegetable stock a paste or liquid?
Can I use stock concentrate?
Lucy says
Hi there, the 2 tsp is of powdered stock.
Jen says
Had friends over for dinner and decided this would be good. It was delicious. I highly recommend it, everyone loved it.
Lucy says
Hi Jen, I'm thrilled you liked it!
Amanda says
In step 6 should the mc be on or off
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Amanda, the MC should be on 🙂
Evie says
This is my fav risotto in thermi. I'd eat it daily if I could
Lucy says
One of my faves too!
Bronwyn Horsfall says
Thank you so much, this is an easy and very delicious prawn risotto. We doubled up on the garlic and added chopped prosciutto at the end of step 7 as well. Also added few squeezes of lemon juice and cracked black pepper into the thermoserver before letting it sit for 10 mins. We added chopped parsely and more lemon juice to server. Fabulous!! Best ever!! Thank you 🙂
Lucy says
Fantastic!!!!!!
Teresa says
Could you swap the wine for something else? I don't drink so have no idea about buying wines . . .
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Teresa, you can use water instead. I usually add an extra teaspoon of stock if using water 🙂
Jasmine says
Loved this so much, thank you for sharing such a yummy recipe!
Lucy says
Our pleasure!
Laura Davidson-West says
Hi, if i am using frozen cooked prawns - how long should I cook for in step 7&8?
Thankyou
Lucy says
Hi Laura, you will need to allow the prawns to defrost in the fridge first. xx
Yolanda says
Are the prawns 300 before they've been peeled or after?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Yolanda, it's 300g of peeled prawns 🙂
Lauren Irvine says
If i only have store brought liquid stock, Could i add that instead? If so, Would you do say 500 liquid stock and 200 water?
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Lauren, you can certainly use store bought stock instead. I haven't tried it before, but I think the ratios you suggest should be ok x
Lee says
This is a firm favourite in our house. I think it gets cooked weekly.
Lucy Mathieson says
Yay!!! Thank you so much!!!
Lou says
Could you substitute chicken for the prawns? How much and cooking times?
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Lou, I havent done this before with this particular recipe - but we do have lots of risotto recipes with chicken on the website. xx
Bel says
Awesome... Family very happy. I did add 500ml of vegetable stock and only 220ml water for a bit more flavour.
Vinicius says
Wow Lucy thank you, thats was awesome! It was the 4th prawn risotto I made and simply the better one! I added some green onion at step 7 and some black pepper and fried rosemary at step 8. Greetings from Brazil!
Deb Henderson says
Step 4 says to add the rice and sauce...what is the sauce.
Thankyou
Deb
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Deb, sorry that was a typo! It should have read 'saute' not 'sauce'!!
Caitlin says
Sauté not sauce ?
Lucy Mathieson says
