Celery Risotto and Protein Coconut Prawns - Quest Nutrition

Here's the Recipe that we made on valentine's day! We made coconut protein prawns served on top of celery and cheese risotto. If you haven't seen the video yet, check out my YouTube channel

Risotto

Ingredients:

• Cheese Risotto package 
• 2 celery sticks

Directions:

• Use 1/4 cup of water less than what the label says to cook the risotto so that it will be easier to mold
• Mince celery sticks and add to risotto for the last 2 minutes of cooking
• Press risotto into a small cylinder-shaped tea cup. Make sure to pack it in tight so it will hold its shape. But don't pack it so tight that you can't get it out. You may have to shake it a bit to get the risotto to come out. Place on plate.
