- 2 celery ribs
- 3 (2 whole and 1 minced) garlic cloves
- 3 (2 brunoise and 1 whole) shallots
- 1 tbsp pink peppercorns
- 1 cup orzo
- 4 oz unsalted butter
- 1.5 (peel of 1 and the other 1/2 thinly sliced) lemons
- 1 pinch sugar

- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp mascarpone
- 2 thyme sprigs
- 1 tbsp miso
- 0.33 cup panko
- 1.5 tbsp salsa macha or chili oil

## Instructions

1. Get the meat out of the shells and chop it up.
2. Preheat a pan and add the shells. Sauté for 2 minutes, then add in the wine. Let it reduce.
3. Add in whole garlic, shallot, celery, and peppercorn. Simmer for 30-45 minutes. Strain the stock. You should have 4 cups of broth.
4. Add the butter and lemon peel to a pot, melt, and add in lobster. Poach on low heat until fully cooked.
5. Preheat a pan for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add in panko and salsa macha. Brown until golden on medium heat, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and wipe clean.
6. Add olive oil to the same pan. Add in 4 lemon slices and caramelize with a tiny pinch of salt and sugar on both sides. This should take about 2 minutes per side.
7. Remove the lemons from the pan and chop them up.
8. In that same pan, add a touch more olive oil, the shallots, thyme, and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes and add in the orzo. Sauté for 2 more minutes on medium heat.
9. Start adding the hot broth 1 cup at a time, risottata style. Cook until al dente, about 3-4 cups of broth.
10. Add in miso, mascarpone, a bit of lemon juice, parsley, and the lobster with some of the butter.
11. Serve it with the crunchy panko and more parsley.
