Easy Lobster Risotto Recipe #SundaySupper

Most of my meals are very budget friendly.  I always keep this in mind when I am putting together our weekly menus.  This week when I walked by our local fish counter, I saw lobster tails for only $3 each.  They were tiny and to feed the six of us, plus my parents, and the friends the kids had invited for Sunday Supper, it still would have been a fortune. But I just couldn’t walk by, they were truly calling my name. What to make that wouldn’t cost a fortune…. Lobster Risotto was the perfect dish.  My family loves any kind of Risotto but Lobster is truly a favorite.

This is one of those recipes that I love that I have 4 children plus friends at our house.  You have to stir and stir and stir and stir.  Everyone has to take turns stirring if they want to stay for dinner!

This recipe can make anyone feel special and fussed over. Alexandra being home from college and having friends over was the perfect time to share a special dish Around the Family Table for Sunday Supper!
