- Begin adding the saffron-infused broth one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed before adding more.
- In a separate pan, sear the lobster tail until cooked through. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Once the risotto is creamy and al dente, stir in the remaining butter, Parmesan, and lobster pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
