A luxurious and creamy lobster risotto made with arborio rice, tender lobster meat, and rich Parmesan cheese. Perfect for an elegant dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups arborio rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups seafood stock (or chicken stock)
  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat seafood stock in a saucepan and keep it warm over low heat.
  2. In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the grains.
  5. Pour in the white wine and stir until fully absorbed.
  6. Add warm stock one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the liquid to absorb before adding more. Continue for about 18-20 minutes until rice is al dente and creamy.
  7. Stir in lobster meat, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until lobster is heated through and risotto is rich and creamy.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chives or parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked lobster or good-quality frozen lobster meat.
  • Substitute shrimp or scallops for lobster if desired.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice for a bright finish.
