- Put dry rice in the skillet and saute/toast for an additional 2 or 3 minutes.
- Pour in wine and simmer until absorbed.
- Reduce heat and keep warm.
- 2.
- In a sauce pot bring 1 cup broth to a soft boil and throw the lobster tail(s) in.
- Cover and allow to steam about 4 minutes, or until shell(s) turn bright red.
- If using frozen lobster it may take a few extra minutes, but dont worry if you see they are not completely cooked through when you shell them.
- They will cook more later.
- When done remove them from the broth using tongs and set them aside.

- Raise the heat on your rice mixture to medium.
- Start putting broth into your rice 1/2 cup at a time while keeping the liquid at a gentle simmer.
- Stir frequently and allow broth to absorb before adding additional broth.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time until its all been added.

- Shell the lobster meat and cut into small pieces.
- Any bits not cooked through can go back into the sauce pot of broth for a minute or two.
- 5.
- If the rice isnt cooked enough (it should be slightly al dente) after adding the 3 cups of additional broth, you can add some of the broth from the sauce pot.
- Your rice should have about 3 1/2 cups of broth in it, plus the 1/2 cup wine.
- 6.
- Stir in the cream cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan, the lobster, and the peas.
- Allow everything to combine and heat thoroughly.
