This Lobster Risotto is creamy, lemony, and full of chunks of lobster. It’s a seafood lover’s dream come true!
Folks have been gatekeeping the key to risotto from you. Don’t make it in a pot. Make risotto in a big skillet. It makes all of the distinction on the earth for the rice rapidly absorbing the broth.
Be at liberty to cook dinner your individual lobster in case you favor, however I rapidly thawed two pre-cooked frozen lobster packs, chopped a lot of the meat (reserving a couple of of the prettiest items for the highest) and warmed the lobster meat over a low flame with butter and recent lemon juice whereas I used to be cooking the risotto. Really easy!
All in all, this took dish about half an hour to make and value lower than $40 for FOUR servings. Leftovers additionally reheat completely on the range with a little bit of butter. I hope you like this epic dinner as a lot as I do. Don’t overlook to pin it in your subsequent celebration!
