Ingredients:
¼ cup olive oil
2 onions, chopped
6 cups chicken broth
1 shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
½ cup white wine
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup light cream
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup sherry
2 cups cooked lobster meat
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until caramelized and very tender, about 20 minutes.
Bring chicken broth to a boil in a pot; reduce heat to low and keep at a simmer.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large, flat-bottom pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir shallot and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add Arborio rice to shallot mixture; cook and stir until rice begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add wine and cook for 1 minute.
Stir 1 cup chicken broth into rice mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed. Repeat adding broth, 1 cup at a time, until all the broth is used, stirring constantly until broth is absorbed each time, about 30 minutes.
Stir honey into onions; cook and stir, 5 minutes more.
Stir butter into rice mixture until melted. Add cream and stir until rice mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Add paprika and cayenne pepper; stir well. Add sherry and mix well. Stir lobster meat into rice mixture and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Mix Parmesan cheese into rice mixture until melted. Add onion mixture and mix well; season with salt and pepper.
