Chelsea I have to add my name to the list of satisfied members with this recipe of yours.  Couldn't get Aussie prawns at my supermarket and only had about 10 in the freezer so I added some diced codfish - could still only get up to a total seafood weight of 280g but it was superb.  I imagine with the whole quantity of prawns it would be even better if that is at all possible. I also didn't have any sour cream so to 1/4 cup of normal cream I added 1 tblspns white vinegar and left it in the fridge until I was ready to add it at the end.
Why oh why do some of the people I have to meals not eat seafood or rice - this is the perfect meal for guests.

I have been waiting for your review JD.  You are our champion reviewer. It is great for entertaining and adding fish is a good idea too.

Sorry I kept you waiting so long Chelsea - DH commented before he even tasted it.  Smells nice he said.

Hi Chelsea

Yeah a risotto winner.  I love any risotto but no one else inmy family does, but 4 out of 5 in my family loved it and asked for it again.  The ds who didn't ican be the 'fussy' one in our house, so he's just going to have to get use to this one. Thanks for a great recipe.

Great news! We aren't mad keen on risotto either but enjoy this one.

We only had the TM for about a month but I have made this 3 times already. My 8 year old who is very fussy with food even requested me to make this for him so he can take to school for lunch. This will be a family favourite. Thanks a lot!

No worries LD! Am glad you are enjoying it.

  :-))Am waiting to find out if this works. Trying to do in a hurry meant I didn't read instructions properly!!! Ended up with nearly everything whirring around together. Doesn't pay to try new things when you are tired. Hopefully it will turn out because my daughter is starving and whining in the background!!!

EDITED to say   I GOT AWAY WITH IT!!! It tastes great

Hi Summersv, welcome to the forum with your first posting.  One of the first things we learn is to read any recipe carefully, many a mistake is made in haste by even the most experienced TMX cook.  Glad to hear yours worked out, it is a great recipe.

oh great  ...I was looking for a fish risotto and I think this will be it. I love prawns but I dont have any here so will need to try the fish instead.

I got hubby to buy prawns on the way home from work so I made this tonight as his parents were coming for dinner and we loved it.....definitely a winner and will be a dinner party fave for sure!10/10
