Cheats Garlic Butter Shrimp (Prawns) and Mushroom Risotto

robd16's Note:

A super simple and super elegant supper dish. Not many people know how well prawns and mushrooms go together but unexpectedly they do. Great to share over a bottle of white wine with plenty of crusty white bread. Feel free to throw in some fresh herbs if you have them to hand, also you can add a little chicken stock if you prefer a wetter risotto or want to reduce the butter
