Description
Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 2 cups lobster stock (or seafood stock)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the lobster stock over medium heat. Keep it warm but not boiling.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors and become slightly translucent.
- Add the dry white wine to the skillet and stir until it’s mostly absorbed by the rice.
- Begin adding the warm lobster stock, one ladle at a time. Stir frequently, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next.
- When the rice is creamy and al dente (about 18-20 minutes), fold in the chopped lobster meat.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining butter, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the risotto sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
