• Recipe: Tiger Prawn Risotto with Lobster Bisque

  This is a guest post from Pig Pigs Corner.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  Linguine in bisque sauce is a dish I crave for very often so I always have a can of lobster bisque in my pantry. I thought I'd do something different this time. Instead of pasta, I used risotto. Added a bit of mustard for a kick. It's really creamy and delicious but a pain to prepare. The bisque is really viscous so I had to keep stirring to prevent it from burning and sticking to the pot. I'd cook this again if I feel I have the need for arms workout but I'd stick with pasta for a quick fix.
