🔥 Instructions

Cook the Lobster: If starting with raw tails, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add lobster tails and cook for 5–7 minutes until the shells are bright red and the meat is opaque. Let cool, then remove meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized chunks. Set aside.

Warm the Broth: In a small saucepan, warm the seafood stock over low heat. Keep it hot throughout the risotto process to ensure a creamy consistency.

Sauté the Aromatics: In a wide skillet or risotto pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and cook until soft and translucent, about 2–3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for another 30 seconds.

Toast the Rice: Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1–2 minutes, letting the grains toast slightly and absorb the aromatics.

Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring, until the liquid has mostly evaporated.

Add Broth Gradually: Begin adding the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the rice to absorb each addition before adding more. This should take about 18–20 minutes. The risotto should be tender but still have a slight bite (al dente).

Finish the Risotto: Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and the Parmesan cheese. Gently fold in the chopped lobster and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest if using.

Serve with Elegance: Spoon the risotto into shallow bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and an extra pat of butter or Parmesan if desired.
