Ingredients

  • 1 cup of risotto
  • 2 cups of white wine
  • 2 cups of vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons of butter
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley to garnish
  • 4 6 ounce lobster tails cleaned with shells removed

Instructions

  • Carefully remove the lobster meat from each tail. You can cut down the center and use our fingers to remove the meat. Chop up the meat into bite size pieces.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once it melted, add one clove of minced garlic and sauté until it is fragrant or about 1 minute.
  • Add the lobster meat into the skillet and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes or until cooked through. They will turn opaque with some red when they are done. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1.5 tablespoon butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the thinly sliced shallot and the crushed garlic. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the shallots are slightly soft and fragrant stirring regularly. Season with salt and pepper.
  • When the shallots are soft and fragrant, add a cup of risotto. Stir to coat the risotto with the garlicky oil-butter mixture.
  • Add in one cup of white wine. Stir regularly and let the risotto cook until the first cup of wine is absorbed.
  • Add in the second cup of wine and repeat the process of stirring the risotto as it cooks until the second cup is absorbed.
  • Once the wine is absorbed, pour in the first cup of vegetable stock. Cook and stir until absorbed and repeat with the second cup of stock.
  • When all the stock is absorbed and the risotto is fluffy and creamy, stir in the cooked lobster pieces, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Remove from heat. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Serve hot, garnishing with fresh parsley or fresh squeezed lemon juice if desired.
