Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rice

    Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the oil and butter. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes until it becomes slightly translucent.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the dry white wine and stir continuously until it's mostly absorbed by the rice.

  5. 5

    Add Broth Gradually

    Start adding the warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition to be absorbed before adding the next ladle. This process should take about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

  6. 6

    Incorporate Lobster

    Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the lobster meat, remaining butter, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is combined and heated through.

  7. 7

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
