Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat your seafood broth over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer, about 5 minutes.
- In a large, deep skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add chopped lobster meat and cook until just opaque, approximately 3–4 minutes. Remove the lobster from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Once melted, pour in 1 cup of Arborio rice, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in ½ cup of dry white wine, stirring continuously until the wine is absorbed, about 1–2 minutes.
- Carefully ladle in the warm seafood broth, about ½ cup at a time, stirring constantly as the rice absorbs the liquid.
- When the rice reaches a creamy consistency and is tender yet firm to bite, remove from heat. Stir in the remaining butter, ½ cup of grated Parmesan, and reserved lobster meat.
- Taste your risotto and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest and chopped herbs.

Notes
Choose fresh lobster for the best flavor and use warm broth during cooking. Stir gently to maintain the creamy texture.
