Creamy Lobster Risotto
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup light cream
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup sherry
  • 2 cups cooked lobster meat
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. The onions will start to soften and develop a rich, caramelized flavor after about 20 minutes of gentle stirring.
2
Next, bring the chicken broth to a rolling boil in a large pot and then reduce the heat to low. The broth should simmer gently, maintaining its temperature, for an extended period.
3
In a separate large, flat-bottomed pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. The shallot and garlic will quickly become fragrant, releasing their natural aroma after about 2 minutes of constant stirring.
4
Add the Arborio rice to the pan with the shallot mixture and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice begins to develop a golden-brown color. This should take about 3 minutes.
5
Now, add 1 cup of chicken broth to the rice mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process, adding 1 cup of broth at a time, until all the liquid has been used up. This process should take around 30 minutes and requires constant stirring to prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
6
Stir the honey into the caramelized onions and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for an additional 5 minutes.
7
Add the butter to the rice mixture and stir until it has melted. Then, add the cream and continue stirring until the rice mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
8
Add a pinch of paprika and cayenne pepper to the rice mixture, stirring well to combine. Next, stir in the sherry and mix everything together.
9
Finally, add the lobster meat to the rice mixture and cook until it is heated through, about 3 minutes.
10
Mix in some Parmesan cheese until it has melted and added to the rice mixture.
11
Add the onion mixture to the rice mixture and mix everything together, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
