Step-by-Step Instructions
- If using raw lobster tails, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the tails and cook for 5-6 minutes until they turn bright red and opaque. Remove from the water, let them cool slightly, then chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic for an additional minute.
- Add Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until toasted lightly.
- Pour in dry white wine, stirring constantly as it simmers. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until most of the wine has evaporated.
- Begin adding warm broth, one ladle at a time, to the rice mixture, stirring frequently for 18-20 minutes until creamy and the rice is tender yet al dente.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in Parmesan cheese, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped lobster meat. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Spoon the risotto into warmed serving bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

Notes
For best results, use fresh lobster and a quality dry white wine for maximum flavor. Stir constantly to release starch and create creaminess.
