INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup Della Jasmine Basmati Rice
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 Oz Unsalted Butter, divided
  • 12 Oz lobster tails,( two 6 oz tails), meat pulled out, diced and set aside; reserve shells
  • 1 Tbsp garlic, minced or zested
  • ½ carrot, diced fine
  • ½ stalk celery, diced fine
  • ¼ cup onion, diced fine
  • 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2 cup(s) water
  • 1/2 Tsp ground white pepper, as needed to taste
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice- Chives, minced (optional)

Step 1

  • Set a medium-sized pot with a tight fitting lid over medium heat. Add oil and 3 tablespoons butter, allowing butter to melt before adding lobster shells. Sauté lobster shells 2 to 3 minutes then add garlic, carrots, celery, onion and thyme sprigs. Sauté until veggies and garlic are just soft.

Step 2

  • Add Della Rice Jasmine Basmati Rice and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes to just lightly toast. Add in water, bring to a boil then turn heat to low, cover and cook until all liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

  • Cook gently until lobster is just cooked through. Add lemon juice, bring to a simmer, stir and remove from heat. Discard thyme sprigs and lobster shells (or reserve for plating) from rice and fluff with a fork.

  • To serve, place rice in a medium-sized serving bowl or platter and spoon buttered lobster meat with sauce evenly over the top. Season to taste and garnish with fresh chives if desired.
