Preparation

Take a frying pan with half the butter, olive oil (reserve 1 tbsp) and the prawns.

In a saucepan, bring the fish stock to a boil.

Reduce the heat and keep warm.

In another pan, of cast iron or thick bottom, place the olive oil and onion.

Bring to the heat and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 2 or 3 minutes, or until the onion is transparent.

Add the rice, orange zest and salt.

Saute, stirring quickly and without stopping, for 3 minutes, or until the beans are shiny and grouped.

Add 1/2 cup (tea) of the boiling fish broth and cook, stirring constantly, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, for 1 minute, or until there is no more liquid.

Continue to cook, slowly pouring the fish stock. adjust the salt, add the remaining butter, the prawns and mix carefully.
