Description

A luxurious dish featuring tender lobster tails poached in butter, served over creamy Arborio risotto.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lobster tails
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Notes

Use fresh lobster for the best flavor and texture. Add garlic or lemon to the butter for extra flavor.
