1/4 cup olive oil, divided

6 cups chicken broth
1 shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup light cream
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup sherry
2 cups cooked lobster meat
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onions until light brown and tender, about 20 minutes.
2

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a pot; reduce heat to low and keep at a simmer.
3

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.
4

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.
5

Mix honey into onions and cook 5 minutes more.
6

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.
