Step 2

Add rice. Stir to coat. Add stock and chilli. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil. Cover with foil. Transfer to oven. Bake for 10 minutes or until half the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add basil and sliced garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer garlic and basil to a plate lined with paper towel. Discard oil. 4 Remove foil from the risotto. Top with prawns and tomatoes, cut side-up. Bake for 10 minutes or until liquid has almost absorbed and the prawns are cooked through. Remove from oven. Season with pepper. Serve topped with garlic and basil.
