Ingredients

Lobster

  • 3-4 lobster tails, shell removed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1.5 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Risotto

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1 cup dry arborio rice
  • 4 cups bone broth, or chicken broth
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 6-8 asparagus stalks, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

Lobster

  • In a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Then stir in the white wine, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the lobster tails and cover 3/4 of the saucepan with a lid. Cook 3-4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the lobster tails to a cutting board. *Don't toss the butter sauce* Chop the lobster into large bite sized chunks and set aside.

Risotto

  • Bring the bone broth to a boil white preparing the other ingredients.
  • Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallot, onion, and garlic, and sauté 2-3 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Add the white wine and stir frequently for about 30 seconds, scraping brown bits off the bottom.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the arborio rice and 1/4 cup of the butter sauce to the skillet. Stir until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Begin adding the broth, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Repeat until all of the broth is gone or risotto is tender.
  • Mix in the parmesan cheese. Then add the asparagus, peas, parsley, and lobster meat. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve!
