Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto
  1. Cook the lobster in a skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter, add minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute. Drizzle with lemon juice, cooking for 5–7 minutes until bright red.
  2. In a pot, heat seafood broth on medium heat to a gentle simmer, around 5 minutes. Keep warm throughout cooking.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, then add Arborio rice. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until slightly translucent.
  4. Gradually add warm broth, one ladle at a time while stirring. Cook for about 18–20 minutes until al dente.
  5. Remove from heat, stir in Parmesan, lemon zest, and lemon juice for a bright flavor contrast.
  6. Fold in cooked lobster pieces evenly throughout the risotto. Let rest for a few minutes, check seasoning, and adjust if necessary.
  7. Serve in warm bowls, garnishing with additional lemon zest and fresh herbs. Enjoy with a chilled glass of Chardonnay.
