Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the lobster tails, cooking for approximately 5-7 minutes until they turn bright red and are opaque. Remove from heat, chop the lobster into bite-sized pieces, and set aside, ensuring to keep the melted buttery goodness for the risotto.
- In a separate saucepan, heat the warm seafood broth over low heat. In a large pot, sauté diced onions in the remaining butter until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the Arborio rice, stirring constantly for 2 minutes, to toast the rice lightly.
- Pour in the dry white wine and stir until almost completely absorbed. Then, start ladling in the warm broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until fully absorbed, about 18-20 minutes total.
- Once the risotto is creamy, remove from heat. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and zest, and reserved lobster butter until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the cooked lobster pieces into the risotto and allow it to heat through for about 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes
For best results, use warm broth and fresh ingredients. Don’t rush the cooking of the lobster to maintain tenderness.
