Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof casserole dish over a medium heat, add the red onions and cook for 8-10 mins until softened.
Add the risotto rice and stir well. Add the chopped tomatoes; then fill 1 tin with water, add to the rice and stir well. Add 20g of the parsley and stir through. Cover and bake for 40 mins, stirring halfway. 10 mins before the end of cooking add one pack of the prawns. Remove from the oven, season, stir well and set aside to rest for 10 mins.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the remaining prawns for 2-3 mins until piping hot. Serve the risotto topped with the fried prawns and remaining chopped parsley.
