Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups chicken or seafood broth
  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the broth to a simmer.

  3. Add the Arborio rice and toast for 2 minutes, then stir in the white wine.
