1/2 cup white wine (or seafood broth)
4 cups seafood or chicken broth

Instructions:
A) Cook the Lobster:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Brush the lobster tails with butter, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the meat is tender and opaque.

In a large pan, heat olive oil and sauté onions and garlic until soft.
Add the Arborio rice, stirring for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
Pour in the wine (or broth), allowing it to absorb into the rice.
Gradually add broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until fully absorbed before adding more.
