I have made this a handful of times, and it is excellent. Living in the Midwest, we don't have a lot of access to nice lobster, so I used fresh (already cooked shrimp. You do have to be patient, stand and stir, but it's worth it. I make a double batch to make the effort seem more "worth it". Reheats nicely.

DELICIOUS!!! My dad even liked this dish and he is the pickiest eater known to man. I used shrimp in the dish instead of lobster. Honestly, I think the risotto would be wonderful by itself. This was my first risotto dish, and I'm so glad that I made it!

LOVED IT! My lobster tails weren't quite as big as what was called for, but they still offered enough meat and flavor. The kids were wary but in the end loved it just as much as my husband & I. There is a lot of stirring so make sure you have a glass of wine close by!

I went with my husband on a trip to Dallas, TX and we stayed at a hotel with a kitchenette as I prepared the dish I was almost afraid my rice would be hard but adding in the brandy just sent the aroma throughout the hotel it was wonderful and Tom felt so special I loved it

This was the first real risotto that I had ever made. I was shocked by the amount of onion in my pan, but proceeded anyway. I used about 5 cups of stock and it took me over 30 minutes of stirring. I will gladly do it again! I wasn't sure how much cheese I used, but I think it was at least a cup. Make sure you use a good quality Parmasen. The risotto was so creamy and delicious, I had to force myself to stop eating it! I also used shrimp because I had some leftover. Thank you, Giada!!

This was my first attempt at one of Giada's recipes, but not my first risotto. It turned out great! I used flaked imitation lobster and mixed it in with the cheese and chives at the end - I'm sure it would be so much better with real lobster, but it's obviously much more expensive. For those who have never made risotto, be sure and have everything chopped before you get started - you really do have to stand at the stove for the full 20+ minutes. Will definitely be making this again, thanks!

I followed this recipe with shrimp & scallops as a substitute for the lobster. I also added asparagus and mushroom. It was excellent! Leave it to Giada to hand us an easy and delicious recipe!
