Clean the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil and leave the prawns for 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink. Remove and reserve.
Heat a little more oil with half the butter and sauté the onion for 3 min. Add the arborio rice and stir for 2 minutes. Add the white wine and stir until evaporated.
Gradually pour in the broth until the risotto is al dente, stirring constantly during this process. In the middle of cooking the rice, place the sieved peeled tomato. When the rice is al dente, turn off the heat (at this point the risotto cannot be dry, it must be with broth).
