Having carved out a reputation for very well-executed signatures like the French Duck Confit, Mushroom Risotto and Pulled Duck Burger, I am really pleased that Chef Shaun isn't resting on his laurels. Instead, he continues to create new reasons to keep his customers returning. A fine example is this "Giant Prawn Risotto", a soon-to-be-launched dish on his "Secret Menu" that is more than aptly named.
I have happily slurped up the yummy Prawn Risotto previously, so for me, this is an upgraded, upsized, everything-also-upped version of it. Aside from the XXL prawns which bowled me over with their super fresh, firm and very sweet succulence, every chewy grain of the risotto also packed intense flavours of prawn stock and rich Parmesan. I also thought the final act of torching the dish at the table was fun and interesting.
