🥄 Texture
Tender, slightly fluffy rice with a lightly toasted surface and individual grains keeping their shape. Prawns are firm and springy while halved plum tomatoes are softened and juicy, adding occasional bursts of moisture.
👃 Aroma
Pronounced garlic and olive oil notes with a warm toasty rice background and a fresh, briny seafood scent from the prawns. Ripe tomato sweetness and a hint of black pepper complete the Mediterranean fragrance.
🍷 Pairs Well With
A crisp, dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Vermentino; alternatively a light pilsner or sparkling water with lemon.
🥗 Side Dishes
Simple arugula or mixed-green salad with lemon vinaigrette and shaved Parmesan; crusty bread or grilled vegetables (zucchini, eggplant) to soak up juices; lemon wedges for extra brightness.
