RECIPE
Lobster Orzo
When we were in Vegas for vacation, I had such an amazing meal. The lobster risotto was just out of this world. It was seriously one of the best meals I have ever had. It was so flavorful and lobster was in just about ever bite. When I was deciding what meals I wanted to recreate from our vacation, this dinner was one I wanted to do. I wanted to do an easier and a little bit healthier version of it.
The reason I wanted to go with an easier version is because I need quick dinners. Everyday after school we have activities and with warmer weather we are outside more and I don’t want to be tied the kitchen every night. I want to be making memories with my kids. Instead of risotto, I went with orzo. Orzo doesn’t take much time to cook. The risotto I had was in a creamy sauce, I went with a lighter sauce. The sauce is a white wine sauce with a little bit of grated parmesan cheese. My meal also only takes about 30 minutes to make, which is always a winner with me.
One day I will make lobster risotto and I promise I will share that recipe with you.
