Method:
- Heat the butter in a large frying pan
- Add the rice and coat with the butter
- Add the wine and allow to simmer for 3 minutes until the aroma is sweet and not alcoholic
- Ladle the fish stock into the pan one ladle at a time, stirring the rice and allowing most of the stock to evaporate
- Cook the rice for about 20 minutes until cooked through and add the lemon zest. Then spread the rice onto a tray and allow to cool
- To make the prawn filling: remove the prawns from the skewers, finely chop, add the chopped herbs, and lemon juice
- Once the rice is cooled, take a small handful and spread flat onto your hand. Then take a small amount of prawn mixture and push into the centre of the rice
- Mould the rice around the prawn mix to form a ball. Chill the rice balls again to set the mixture
- To coat: place the beaten egg in a mixing bowl and the breadcrumbs in another
- Dip the rice balls into the egg and then roll in the breadcrumbs so that the balls are fully coated with both. Chill the arancini again to set the coating
- To cook either fry using a fryer, until the breadcrumbs turn golden brown. Or bake in the oven (200°c) for 20 mins
