Lobster Risotto

This delicious and decadent Lobster Risotto is made with chunks of lobster and cherry tomatoes in a sherry wine sauce.

This decadent lobster risotto, made with lobster meat (or langostino), arborio rice, cherry tomatoes, sherry wine, and Parmesan cheese, is delicious and full of flavor. I love this seafood dish for special occasions, date nights, or anytime I crave lobster.
