Add arborio rice and cook for about 1 minute until slightly toasted.

Pour in dry white wine and cook for about 1 minute until absorbed.

Add about 4 cups of lobster stock, ladling in enough to cover the rice without swimming in it.

Continue adding lobster stock in ladlefuls, scraping the bottom of the pan to check liquid absorption.

Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until rice is slightly translucent with a white core.

Add lemon zest early in the cooking process for a subtle flavor.

Incorporate butter into the rice, allowing it to melt while the rice continues to cook.

Add cream cheese as a substitute for mascarpone, mixing until creamy.

Adjust consistency by adding more butter or stock if the risotto is too dry.

Fold in cooked lobster and additional butter for shine before plating.

Plate the risotto, ensuring it is creamy and not gluey.
