* The giveaway in this post is sponsored by Zwilling J.A. Henckels Canada. My Kitchen Love has been compensated with product. Please note that I only support brands I love and use at home. 

This is what I love about Valentine’s Day. Not all the Hallmark junk, chocolates, or red roses (although both chocolates and flowers of any kind are welcome with open arms into my home – on any day), but the personal, slow living, quiet moments with my loved one.

It’s about taking a crazy good dish, make it simple, and then serve it to remember that it’s not all about rushing the kids to school, getting the laundry done, or paying all the bills. It’s about us. A unit trying to do the best we can for each other and our family. Plus, this is a GIVEAWAY post! Yahoo!

The giveaway is this Staub Heart Cocotte! Enter below for your chance to win one of your very own. Zwilling J.A. Henckels Canada is graciously giving one My Kitchen Love reader a cocotte to make your own Date Night Risotto in. I enjoyed cooking with it and I’m looking forward to using it throughout the year.

I’ve had my eye on Staub for some time (the lid design keeps food from drying out by dripping condensation back onto the food) and I’m thrilled I get to share one with one of you as well. It cooked the risotto perfectly in the oven!

This risotto is so easy some of you might think I’m pulling a joke on you. I’m not. It’s a great way to get what is seen as a luxurious meal on the table without doing … well … basically anything besides adding things to a pot and stirring.

If you want to make it a complete meal, add frozen peas with about 5 minutes left in the cooking time or add bite size pieces of asparagus around the 10 minute mark.

This Date Night Oven Baked Garlic Butter Prawn Risotto is a 2 person serving, but is easily doubled to serve a family of 4/5. The recipe will still take the allocated cooking time, simply double the ingredients.

In previous years I’ve made this Spinach Pesto Couscous with Prawns (this pesto sauce is a must-do for picky eaters! It’s a whole carton of spinach and no kid ever realizes it!) and this Surf-n-Turf Board.

Make Date Night, special, delicious and relaxed with this Oven Baked Garlic Butter Prawn Risotto. Take a few minutes to add the ingredients to the pot and then let the oven bake this dish and have it ready in under 30 minutes! 

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 2 servings
Author: Samantha
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup arborio rice*
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth**
  • 6-8 large tail-on raw prawns (peeled or unpeeled is fine)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. 

  2. Heat butter in an oven-proof pot with a tight fitting lid over medium heat.

  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. 

  4. Add prawns, broth and salt to pot, stir well, cover with lid, and bake for 20 minutes undisturbed. 

  5. Remove from oven and serve immediately. 

Recipe Notes

* arborio rice is specific to make risotto. Regular long grain or short grain rices won't provide the same texture nor release the same amount of starch to make the texture we expect from risotto. 

** this makes for a bit of a saucy risotto is served immediately. If it's not the rice will absorb the broth and some water or additional broth might be needed to loosen the rice up upon serving.

Enjoy! xo

    We love risotto here because it's naturally gluten-free and I never need to worry. This is such a genius idea with the garlic prawns.

    Can you double or triple the recipe? Do you double/triple cook time too?

      I haven't tried doubling or tripling the recipe, however, I would safely say you could double the recipe with a similar cooking time, it may need a few extra minutes but not much more than that.

These Banana Buckwheat Donuts are happening this week for school lunches. Kids dig them. I dig them. Done deal. I just need a hot 30 min to make them happen.

This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket loa This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket load of spinach into our diets before we leave the house for school and work. It's one of my long time smoothies that I make for my kids. 

We've had it a few days in a row now to help us hit reset in the new year. 

The omega oil is optional and I sometimes switch out the banana for a navel orange for a different flavour profile. Oh and if you're an Orange Julius fan, try a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract - you won't regret it!
