Method

1. Prepare a light broth by boiling 600ml of water with the tomato paste and a pinch of salt.
2. Finely mince the onion and soften it in a pot with a little water.
3. Add the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes until it smells nutty.
4. Begin adding the boiling broth ladle by ladle, keeping the rice covered.
5. Clean the shrimp, removing the shell and the dark vein.
6. When the rice is 2 minutes from being done, stir in half of the shrimp.
7. Turn off the heat, add the oil and a squeeze of lemon juice, then stir vigorously.
8. Top with the remaining shrimp (seared quickly in a separate pan if preferred) and serve.

Tips

• The lemon juice at the end balances the sweetness of the prawns and highlights the sea flavor.
• Use a wooden spoon for stirring to avoid breaking the rice grains.
