Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Cook lobster tails for 4-5 minutes on each side until bright red and opaque. Remove and chop the lobster, drizzling with lemon juice.
  2. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Stir in 1 cup of Arborio rice for about 2 minutes until slightly translucent.
  3. Add ½ cup of dry white wine to the rice, stirring for about 2-3 minutes until nearly evaporated.
  4. Gradually add seafood broth, ½ cup at a time, stirring for 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.
  5. Remove from heat, stir in ½ cup of Parmesan cheese and the reserved lobster pieces until creamy.
  6. Transfer to serving bowls, drizzle with extra lemon butter and sprinkle fresh herbs on top.
