Hey guys,
I recently had the pleasure of trying lobster risotto for the first time and let me tell you, it was a game changer. The combination of creamy risotto and succulent lobster is a match made in heaven.
Now, I know what you’re thinking – lobster can be expensive. But trust me, it’s worth splurging on for a special occasion or a fancy dinner at home. Plus, you can always use frozen lobster tails to save some money.
Here’s my recipe for lobster risotto:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 lobster tails, cooked and chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer and keep it warm on low heat.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Arborio rice to the pot and stir until the grains are coated in the butter and onion mixture.
- Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the white wine. Stir until the wine has been absorbed by the rice.
- Add the warm broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and waiting until each ladleful has been absorbed before adding the next one. This process should take about 20-25 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked and the risotto is creamy, stir in the Parmesan cheese and chopped lobster tails.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
This recipe serves 4 people and pairs perfectly with a glass of white wine. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
