Having lobsters tonight; can I make stock after?

[itryalot]

Never made lobster stock but would love to, even just a small amount so I have it for risotto. Can I make it with lobster shells after we've eaten the meat? What parts should be removed if any?
How?

i would use all the shell parts.

And if you're not partial to eating it, the roe is a nice addition too.

As for how, that's a matter of personal preference, I guess. I sweat some onion, celery (just a bit) and carrot in a neutral oil, add the broken shells, and saute until they're a little bit toasty. Add water to cover, and a bay leaf, and simmer for a couple hours.
