Heat a little olive oil with half of Pure in a pan, add shallots and garlic and fry for a few minutes until softened. Add rice and stir well. Add wine and allow to bubble until liquid is absorbed. Add a ladleful of stock and cook, stirring, until absorbed. Repeat with more stock and adding beetroot 10 minutes into cooking time and prawns 5 minutes before rice should be cooked.
